UV Sensitive

[ki1234]

I bought a UV sensitive round cable. I have a blue cathode in the computer to. Is the round cable supposed to glow blue? Because mine isn't.

[i3OSS]

no, you need a UV Cathode.

You have to use a UV cathode to make the cable glow.

So a cold cathode is diffrent from a UV cathode? Isn't UV purple?

If you look at that you will see that UV would appear to be vilot in color while most of it is impossible to see with human eyes.

A Cold Cathode is a general name.


UV Cold Cathode is like saying Blue Cold Cathode.


Cold Cathodes come in many colors and what you want is one that is UV..like this one.

Yea Cold Cathode is just the type of Cathode. You have a Blue Cold Cathode right now, but you need a UV cold cathode to make the cables glow. UV meaning Ultra"Violet", will appear Purpleish looking at the cathode.

With UV lights, it should look something like this:

I used two UV cathodes for that. One on the side (which needs to be hidden better in that pic) and one on the bottom.

[ki1234]

Can I put UV and Bllue cold cathode in the case at the same time. Will the cable still glow?

[Mr N8]

Yes, it will glow, but the light from the blue cathode will take away from the intensity a little bit.

i bought Blue LEDs and they were somewhat UV and made UV stuff glow it was kinda weird
