any insight on this seller?

 

it looks like its not tubes.
its just single led's.

 

his feedback is 99.3%

think its safe?

 

probably safe, but they might not last long. and it doesnt seem like there are any picturess of the actual components

 

if you're wanting interior lighting just get the cold cathodes from oznium.com

 

yea i should spend money elsewhere. thanks guys.

 

4 inch tubes good for under dash?

 

i think mine are 12 inch.

 

depends on how bright you want it..the 4in. should be fine but its not like it costs much more to get the 12in...i had the 4in and it was fine for me

 

what else should i get with this kit besides a switch, anything?

 

a kit and an oem rocker switch are all you need. There is also a DIY on that site somewhere using a tC.

 

Don't buy from Oznium. Computer case retailers have cathodes for half the price of Oznium for the same thing. Check out svc.com, newegg.com, etc. You should be able to get a 12" tube/transformer for less than $5.

 

just placed the order! thanks everyone.

 

yea i wish i'd known that before as much as i used to build computers.

i just went cheap and got mine from ledunderbody.com .....they're low priced and worked for last 2 years

 

me and alot of other people use
http://www.svc.com/

good site.. i suggest that place too.

 

^good site, good prices!

 

Are these cathodes waterproof or "weatherproof"? or are they only suitable for interior use?

 

lso randode ha a plug and play kit for the tc havent used it but heard its good

 

Most of the time, they aren't sometimes getting the automotive stuff costs more (llike the ebay stuff above), but it's a bit better quality for the environment that it's going in.

 

all cathodes are pretty much the same..
there's no difference between the "automotive stuff" and the computer stuff..
(there really isn't anything i would consider "automotive stuff" when it comes to this)

they were mostly made for interior use to begin with, and in most applications they're used for... it's well... case lighting.

there's no noticeable quality that would make a cathode weatherproof compared to another..

i just don't see the point in spending more on something you can buy for less...

and i wouldn't use cathodes anyway in any places that would get exposed to the elements... "weatherproof" or not.
