Cold Cathode specifications?

I cant seem to find a specs sheet for the Oznium Cold Cathode tubes, im really interested in the light output among other things. Any help appriciated thnx

well for light output.. look at anybodys pictures
here is 1 green set, and 1 purple set

and there are 2 sets purple cathodes in my grill ... seen here http://www.oznium.com/forum/topic4406

those cathodes are bright as hell. they blow regular neons away. but the color is a bit ligher ( not as deep or rich a color) but they are great. i only use cathodes now and will never go back to using regular neon except in a ub kit. and im building a cathode ub kit now with 10 cathodes total. i tested one strip with 4 cathodes and they lit up my whole basement in a nice green color.

I was looking for a MCD number but those do look really nice, and im definitely gonna have to give you props with the purple green blending, looks amazing, where did you place those cathodes, just under the dash?

Wowzers! those are bright

for a darker color, coloring the outer tube with a perm. marker usually works.

sorry, i had to

Those are a nice red, i here there suppose ot be pink, but thsoe look red to me. ive also herd the blue ones are a light aqua like blue and not like a deep blue, is this true at all? im refering to the oznium cathodes

aqua? ha...i cant stand aqua and i have 5 blue cc sets..so to answer ur question, they arent a aqua/light blue...they are a very nice shade of blue

aqua? then those must be neons! look at my neon blues/aqua vs my CC blues!


Only 2 sets on 1 blue one green (in the windows*)



2 neons and 2 led bars(back)

can someone post a wiring diagram for cold cathodes for me because cant figure out why mine arnt working. what is a good power source for them? if i plug them into a 12v source do i need the transfomer? Please reply quick

are they going into your car? or where?

yes they are going in my car

I did in your other thread.

To see if they work put the red wire to the postive and the black wire to ground using the tranny.

Fused battery is a good source.

You need the tranny no matter what you do.

Is that quick enough?

well i got um to work and i was drivein around and they just turned off and i cant get them to turn on again. i have it wired to my sterio fuse. so what is the problem you think?

You mean your amp power wire?

It could be a connection or anything. You need to take out the tranny and tubes and test them. Then you can run another power wire off your amp power wire as long as you use a smaller fuse. Your CCs are too small to blow that large fuse in your amp wiring kit, so therefore they would fry/fire.

when i first installed mine i noticed if the transformer isn't grounded completely it wont light up..maybe that why

With the specifications listed, would it be safe to assume that the sound controllers can only handle 20mA? I need to know this for when I go shoping some some transistors.

how big of a fuse do u recommend for 1 set of CCs?

small, 5 amps or so...

Yea between 1 to 5 amps should work fine.
