24" cold cathodes

My friend sickness told me about this site http://elwirecheap.com/noname15.html they have 24" single cathodes with inverter for $20, or just the bulb for $11, i would get them but i have no place to out them, plus i'm poor as dirt the only thing im not sure about is that i couldn't find any info about brightness. Now i hope Phil doesnt mind me posting this. also the name el wire cheap sounds like the guy has illegal aliens sitting in his basement putting these things together

a spelling correction to my first post, "i have no place to put them" not "no place to out them"

for 12 dollars you can get just the 24 inch tube. Does anyone know if that would work, or do I need an inverter too. And Phil, can you get your hand on some 24 inch tubes at all?

You could of just edited your post Nick...

I could but I choose not to. 24" = way too delicate and a nightmare to ship.

no, you need the special inverter to get enough power to run the CC

how do you edit?

yea it probably is terrible to ship, youd need to have a special extra long box.

look in the top right corner of your posts. you will only see it in yours thou

then a message like this comes up on your post:
that didn't work...

or... like this... hey, maybe it has a time limit... waiting..... waiting... 5, 4, 3, 2, 1...

ok... a message like this: no that didn't work

maybe someone else has to post after you do for the message to appear?

Well, if Phil ever gets some purple cathodes in...I'd buy them here.

Hey, I've been to elwireceap.com, and your right glidden, about the aliens thing. That was kind of what I thought of at first when I went there.

i'm an alien

:alchoholic:

That's my smilie

i have ten 12" cold cathodes from them... when i tested them they seemed pretty bright (although i don't have anything else to compare them to other than neons). their customer service is just as good as phil's IMO. when i got them there were 4 that were broken. i just e-mailed them, told'em what happened, and they told me to make a "broken in transent (sp?)" claim. i did, and about 3 days later i had the replacements, no questions asked. i didn't even have to send the broken ones back

hmmm..I smell a scam! lol..just kidding. Thanks for the input on the site though. I guess they can be trusted then.

i finally made the decision to buy from them after having read some "reviews" that some people on the SG board had posted...

oliphant? as in Tim?

Yes..that's Tim Oliphant. And I'm Tim Ginter. Your not going to get us mixed up, are you Nick? I know your not that clever.

man im clever.....clever like a fox

it's Crazy. Crazy like a fox.

It's crazy! Homer says crazy like a fox. Not clever.

OH! yeah Homer does... but what the hell does he know?

My underdash cathodes are from elwirecheap and they worked out great. I even liked their tranny better. Its metal and more compact that the oznium ones. I had Oznium cathodes too and they worked great for about 2 mins but then the tube slid out and broke. Not Phils fault though.

That's good then. I couple of good reviews about them. I'll have to buy some purple cathodes from there.
