Misuta_Yancha Posted July 7, 2005 Posted July 7, 2005 so I just bought four sets of new lights for my case... two double ccfl(12") and two single ccfl(6") and I was wondering if I could combine more than two cathodes on a double inverter or if that would kill something the two singles I bought came with double inverters so I can combine the two 6"ers but I only want to have two inverters which would mean three on one inverter Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vasto Posted July 7, 2005 Posted July 7, 2005 I probably wouldn't mess around with the inverters. Inverters are known to go up in fire, so I would just use the 3. However, there may be a more knowledgeable person here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kobalt Posted July 8, 2005 Posted July 8, 2005 As it was just mentionned by Vasto inverters are very on the edge pieces of electronics and cant be messed with like even the lenth of the wires have to stay the same otherwise the brightness suffers. So my suggestion is also dont mod them To tell you the truth i'm having difficulties beleiving those neons passed the electric safty codes they usually demand a much larger buffer (if i can call it that) for something that have a potential for fire hazard <_< Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vegiemaster Posted July 9, 2005 Posted July 9, 2005 And if you do mess with them, don't do it with the computer on... you may get shocked by capaciters and end up with a nonworking light... ME Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GuJuMaN89 Posted July 16, 2005 Posted July 16, 2005 haha, i hate invertors, too many wires and it just looks bad :/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister_Webmaster Posted July 16, 2005 Posted July 16, 2005 lol, I was able to hide them fairly well, which made it harder to figure out what blew up... anyone know if you can just get a replacement inverter? Maybe they only last for 3 years? This one was from December 2002. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BionicSniper Posted July 17, 2005 Posted July 17, 2005 i have a bunch but im using them all.. sorry i've been able to hide them PERFECTALY! the only ccfl wire visible is in the drive bay but unless your looking into the drive bay from the front you cant see it.
