Cold cathode / UV

[lumen]

I didn't realize there was a differance, I though all cold cathodes were UV, is this not the case? If they are different, how hot do UV lights run? And where can you get them, I haven't seen a seperate listing for UV lights anywhere.

Uh, any good store that sells ccs will sell uv ccs. svc, bestbyte, frozencpu, and case-mod is just a few.

UV is just the color, just like there are blue and red and white and purple cold cathodes, there are UV cold cathodes as well.

Yes, that's what I was asking, whether it was a color or... something else, because from what I knew UV lights were purple only, I thought maybe I missed some kind of revolution where they could make other color UV lights... that makes a lot more sense.

Probably didn't word the question quite right, anyway, thanks for the replies.

As I understand it, cold cathode is just a light technology - it can be made into any color needed. White ones have been used in scanners for quite some time now; they're just being made to emit different wavelengths these days for other applications.
