  2. Cold Cathode: Neon

  3. Cold Cathode: Neon Cold Cathodes are low pressure lamps that rely on high voltage (4000-6000V) electrodes that create a discharge. The operation is similar to fluorescent, but much less energy efficient. The two leading gases used in cold cathode lamps is argon (blue-green) and neon (red-orange). Cold cathodes are available in most colors. Can be bent into most any shape and are created in tubes between 9mm- 25mm.

  4. Cold Cathode Neon Cold cathode lamps are almost always custom made. They are typically used for accent lighting. Due to a flicker at each cathode located at the end of the glass tube they are not suitable for any situation were visual acuity is important. Light output is low and efficacy is about ¸ as compared to a fluorescent. The lamp is long lasting, but initial installation is costly and requires bulky equipment.

  5. Cold Cathode: Neon • Typical uses of cold cathode: • Signage • Edge lighting • Cove lighting • Accent lighting • Advantages: Custom shapes, custom colors, long lasting, low surface temperature • Disadvantages: High initial cost, flicker, low light output
