which lights is better cold cathod or the neon light need you help in this
Psywar
well its all prefrence.. I like the neons.. but there not as bright as the cathrodes..

See if you get a red neon.. its going to be red in color.. if u get a red cathrode.. sometimes its kinda pinkish..

Cathrodes are brighter.. and give off less heat..

Neons are not as bright but have a beautiful color smile.gif
they give off more heat.. but.. the heat that it gives off.. is so minor.. u prolly couldent tell a differnce unless you had some sort of professional tempture gauge in ur comp smile.gif

So if you want really bright.. go with cathrode.. bewarned the colors are not always as they seem.. unless you get blue.. green is sometimes a puky color and red is sometimes pink..

If you want nice color.. go with a neon.. get 2 if u want really bright smile.gif

ive bought tons of cold cathod, and only a very small few were off color, to a small degree... these were the cheap kind, if you want a quality lighting system, get 1 or 2 cold cathod's from frozencpu.com, either the same color or 2 colors...

CC
COLOR - GOOD, ALMOST ALL THE TIME
BRIGHTNESS - HIGH
HEAT - LOW

NEON
COLOR - ALWAYS GOOD
BIGHTNESS - LOW TO MEDIUM
HEAT - MEDIUM

the choice is pretty easy, cathods are smaller, brighter, cooler, last longer... overall i think they are way better but that is just my opinion tongue.gif
