I have the two blue tubes but they are way too bright (too much white) to be nice. Does anyone have experience if the UV Blue tubes are much darker? And how visible are they in normal daylight?

Thanks!

EDIT: Forgive my newbiness but are cold cathodes generally whiteish? And if I want UV parts can one blue UV cathode power a blue UV IDE cable and a red IDE cable? Or do I need one of each color?

The UV's are much much darker and are not that bright in daylight but still bring out the UV stuffs...
Here's what they look like:

Daylight

At Night

Yes the blue Cold Cathodes are on the white side and 1 invertor has the ability to handle 2 lights

I have 2x UV and 2x blue Cold Cathodes from SVC, and I recently unplugged the two blue ones from my computer... they were just way too bright. I only paid like 6 bucks shipped for them though so I guess it wasn't a big waste of money... The UV Cold Cathodes make for an awesome windowed case. I have UV green psu sleeving with UV red molex connectors with UV blue IDE cables to top it off. I love the way it looks!
