Where to buy CCFLs and 12V inverters ?

Post by Arthur Pendragon »

I´m having trouble finding 4", 6" and 8" white CCFLs and inverters for 12V.... (mostly used in computer cases).

Already lost money with a fraudulent vendor at the Internet, and don´t want to do it again. :evil:

Anyone know a serious internet vendor for CCFLs and inverters with reasonable prices ? I need a lot of lamps and inverters !

Thanks

You can waste time with your friends later, after you get those vaporators working.

I have purchased some units from these people intended for my 1:350NX-01 and 1:350 Refit. The dual unit kitss seem to be the best value for $$

I got some kits in for a solder demo and picked up the inverters and ccfls just to share the shipping. There was some delay in shippment, as some kits were coming from around Hurricane hit areas (yes it was last year october time frame).
