CCFL : some experiments

A while ago i took apart some screens with CCFL backlight, and then did nothing with it.

It's time to change that ! 


What is used : 

• Old PSU
• CCFL inverter bought in a electronic shop
• Some CCFL took from screens
• some electric wire
• soldering iron
• soldering tin

the CCFL tube is longer than the Inverter can handle, that's why i played with it,with a smaller one i got a geeky desk light.

here is the lighting circuit : 

here is the result : 

And in the dark now : 

Ok, This was pointless ... but that was fun to play with
