os:
Not ApplicableFor those who have asked questions.
1) These are tubes of around 30cms long and about 1cm in diameter. they are a cold cathode tube, in other words a light! They don't give off any heat, are cheeeeeap to run, and last for around 15000 hours (normally!)
2) they are normally used inside computer cases (that have a window in the side panel) to illuminate the inner workings of a computer, but as you have probably read they can be used anywhere there is a 12v power source (i've got four illuminating my desk using a 12v 4amp power supply i got from Halfords.
3) The switch that comes with it controls the invertor (power supply) so it will only switch both tybes on and off at the same time.
4) They come in different colours, blue is the most popular! and a UV version is available - this has the effect of making flouresent and white colours glow brightly in the dark - funky effect.
5) they give off a steady light - not a pulse as someone has mentioned - he probably bought the bubble version!
6) Fitting the switch is a simple job - take out your spare 5.25 or 3.5" drive bay cover drill a hole to suit the diameter of the switch then push switch in (it has some locating lugs to secure it. NOTE the dual tube version does not come with a round adhesive 'washer' like the single tube version. remember to position it correctly if you want more than one switch!
Hope this helps somewhat.
WOW

Not Applicablebeleive it or not, i actually put these in my car, i placed them under the foot wells, they look beautifull, and for only 7 quid. car neons normally cost around £30. all you have to do is connect the black to ground and the red wire to the battery, or just connect it to the car stereo black/red wires.
Great Value

Not ApplicableI bought 2 lots of these and stuck 2 in my car footwells and 2 in the boot and for around £10 P&P included these lights are very powerful, even though the lights are under my footwells they light the whole car up and it looks a proper good job. They also come with a switch which i have mouted on my dash so they dont have to be on all the time. The ones in the boot provide a great glow and light everything up as they come on when the boot is opened, over all this product is great value as i didnt expect them to be all that bright for the price, but they certainly surprised me!
yay

Windows XPthey work, they're blue, and they're cheap. what more could you want? they are extremely fragile and although mine were in perfect condition when i got them, i can see how easily they would break, so sign for them as "unchecked".
Good Quality but 1 problem
os:
Windows XPThis is well worth the money as it lit up my whole case , however the only fault I can see is that the inverter plug is quite tricky to keep it plugged it as it is loose
Mood Lighting
I have put these all over my home cinema, behind speakers etc. All you need is a Doll's House transformer, which steps mains voltage down to 12v. (or us any other 12v DC transformer - I have one with a dimmer on!) Then cut off the wierd computer connections, and connect the two wires up either way round (lights have no polarity - work either way) to the 12v supply. They look amazing.
super cheap and bright
these things are cool! a good idea with them is to stick them in the top and bottom of the case and that u can't see them ( not on the window of your case like most people do ) this gives a really cool glowing effect and it won't blind u... when i got them 1 was flickering abit but i just poked it and it works fine now. beware they snap easy
Bargain.

Not ApplicableFor £7 you can't really go wrong! Combined, the 2 tubes provide enough light to illuminate your entire room :) The inverter is good and not dangerous like some you can get which can short circuit your computer. You also get a nice round rocker switch which you can mount onto a drive bay if you're feeling inclined ;)
Good Stuff
os:
Not ApplicableThese are great, the pack contains everything you need and they give off a really good glow. Absolutely no complaints from me, not at £6 anyway !
Buy Um!

Windows XPAlready for 2 of these tubs in my case, with sound module, just bought another 2, boasting to 4 tubes, 2 blue LED case fans, and 2 sets of blue Lazer LEDs - Ebuyer dont stock the blue tubes often! so buy while you can! - Excellent, wanted more light so i could light half the street up!
