CCFL'S visual impact is stunning


Recommended Posts

Below are some pictures of a lighting project we just did for a Convention center expansion in Orlando using 22,000' of tc 3000 white cold cathode lamps.

This system manufactured and installed was about 1/2 the cost of the LED system products alone without installation being included.

We are starting another large lighting project next month for one of the theme park resorts that have tried the LED linear lighting products and have been very disappointed with their performance.

For high color rendering of a wide palette of colors CCFL's can't be beat.

Nice!! - what type of power supplies did you use? And if you have any pics of the service/power supply end I'd love to see it. Assume you used G2 housings? Or whatever their new name is. Mag or electorinic power supplies? How did you run the leads back to the power supplies - and where did you put them? Controlled by dimmers? And out of curiousity - what brand of glass and color did you use. I see downlights in one of the pics that is not apparatently cold cathode? If so - was the neon color matched to them - it appears the same color?

Sorry - last question - what size glass you use?

Thanks Gary,

The lighting designer specifications(not sure why these guys get to call out specs)was a 2 lamp system using 990v 200mA magnetic ballasts.

We used custom designed ceramic sockets and 100% of the system is dimmable. We used EGL glass 98% of the job was 25mm the other was 15mm where tight spaces were an issue.

Nice pictures. What a nice saturated halo. CL 28 is a beautiful color for that application.

South Atlantic + Cold Cathode = perfection.

GOOD things happen for a reason......

Sweet - sure cuts down on HV runs! 25mm cuts out ALOT of tube benders. It would be cute and fun to see some of that work done by others!

Great promo for quality glass work.

BEAUTIFUL, does not say it enough. Nice job Randy and thanks for sharing! BTW, did "Roy" help you with this? :P

Garett's new Heat Inductor "Roy".

LOL. yeah Roy was a big help :P

Speaking of Garett , haven't heard from him in a while or seen him chiming in . Is he on an extended vacation ?

Probably too busy inventing cool stuff in his lab . :scratchhead:

Yeah, it heats up those trodes unbelievable fast.

Garett's always on vacation!

OK Guys, yes I'm busy and I don't catch everything...! (but should have...)

I have been working on the imminent release of the "Roy 1500", the first major product offering from Fluxeon.

What 'saneon' is using is a variation called the 'Neon Roy'. This version is different than the multi-purpose Roy 1500--it's designed to do just one thing--convert neon and cold cathode electrodes. The output head is in the form of a pistol-grip wand, and contains the resonating electronics and the ferrite concentrator. The electronics cause very large currents to flow into the ferrite, which has a gap that the electrode fills. by filling the gap, the magnetic path is completed. but unlike the ferrite material, the iron suffers huge losses, and hence, heats up.

Takes about 5 seconds to heat up any electrode, even the 250mA big boys!

Our web site has finally been upgraded--there is more information there on the Neon Roy and our other products, along with contact information.

2 thumbs up on the "ROY" Garett :thumbs: :thumbs:

I highly recommend it to any neon/cathode shops that are serious about improving the quality of the lamps they produce.

I put over sized electrodes on almost every unit we make now especially the smaller diameter lamps.

Nice job Garett. Glad to see you have it on the market now. Would buy one in a heartbeat if I still did neon! How bout doing a video and putting it in the tutorial section?

Better pictures, videos are on the way--but the Tutorial is a great idea....

Thanks for the kind words, everyone--
