cold cathode tube
A cold cathode tube is based on gas discharge technology just like FlexFluor. However, in this case, the tubes are hooked up to cold cathodes and run at high voltage (up to 10000V). The cold cathode tube is available in many forms and colors. As the cold cathode is not quite as bright as FlexFluor, its main focus of application is for light advertisements and decorative lighting.
When should I use cold cathode instead of FlexFluor?
Cold Cathode tubes are still the best solution for light advertisement applications, especially in the exterior as they are not as sensitive to the cold as florescent lighting solutions and are still bright enough to make possible attractive lighting designs.
What do I have to consider when opting for cold cathode?
Cold cathode tubes can operate at up to 10 000V, which might require special considerations when installing as well as special licenses (check your local city code).
