Question A neon Lighting Question...

What is the difference between a Neon Light and a Cold Cathode Neon Light? The Cold light is 5$ more, any difference in the look?

Heh, and what color case lighting would you get with a yellow case? Red, Green, or Blue?

Thanks,
Jake

To just put it plain and simple and not get technical, neon light; doesn't last as long as cathodes, is usually more bulky then them, and put out substantially LESS light. Go with a Cold Cathode. As for the color, I would say blue or *maybe green, but don't go out and buy green or blue and say you don't like it, this is just my opinion but it will be on your desk not mine.

I'd have to say blue looks the best from all the lighting I've seen..Red is too "looky looky"
