Orange CCFLs

[gvblake22]

There's red, blue, green, purple, white, UV, but no ORANGE!! Does anyone know where a person could find orange CCFLs?

Get white CCFLs and use orange celophane.

+1 to the cellophane, just don't use PVA glue, coz it makes the cellophane shrivel. you could also try some some sticky book covering in an opaque orange, but thats probably gonna be a bit trickier to do.

HAHA, nice find. Too bad their only picture is broken, I guess I'll have to take their word for it. Would it be better to use a white CCFL with orange coloring around it or a white CCFL with orange coloring?

Instead of using cellophane, I would probably use some flourescent orange acrylic, what do you think about that idea?

Is that a trick question?

[Zambini]

aren't those two the exact same?


I'd think cellophane is good to wrap it with

[halutzparilla]

i wouldn't go for the cellophane... in the long run there is a high possibility that the cellophane burnt out and might coz fire whereever you'll gana put it....

0.o??

ok.
But isnt it a cold cathode?
or is that named for some other reason? lol

[Tyreal]

It's called a cold cathode but it still puts out some heat. I think that cellophane is thin enough that it won't hold any heat in nor will a cold cathode ignite when it dies. But I guess there is always a possibility.
