A Cold Cathode UV light

[koolaid]

I got these two lights to try:

The diameter a little larger than the size of a pencil with the bulb slightly larger than a pencil lead.






I cut away the computer hookup wires so that all that was left was the red and black that I could hook to a 12VDC battery. The ballast can power two lights.

It seems to be a true Long Wave UV light.

The AVON is still the best.

Thanks for sharing the info. Do you think the ballast could power two of the longer lights? I like to go hunting at night for my fluorescent material. And I think I could make a nice lamp out of two of those.

The ballast should handle two bulbs. Remember it is long wave and there is not as many minerals that react to it as there are short wave minerals so you may pass by some good stuff and not see them.

Dennis,

Thanks I think I'm going to give them a try. I don't have the funds for the short wave right now. So I'm just enjoying my long wave minerals.
