CCFLs compared?

[Xylo]

I want to get a couple of CCFLs for my new system, and I'm unsure of what brands might be good relative to others? I've been able to find some reviews for individual brands here and there, but does anyone know of any good same-review multiple-CCFL reviews?...

Personally, I'm interested in sets of dual CCFLs on a single inverter...

As far as brands go, I've seen listed:
- A.C. Ryan "Twin Overboost"
- CoolerMaster "Aurora"
- Lamps Electronics
- Logisys
- Revoltec
- Sunbeam
- Thermaltake "PerfectLight"
- Ultra "Super Brite"
- Vantec "Spectrum"
- Vastech

And also a large number of generics at various websites (frozencpu.com, crazypc.com, xoxide.com, twistedmods.com, performance-pcs.com, svc.com, etc.)...

So how does one pick?...lol. I mean, I'd really like the best brightest CCFLs, and so anyone got any *comparative* recommendations? (FWIW, personally, I'm mostly interested in dual UV pairs)

Thanks!

(shrug)..well, if I see 5 different pairs of UV lights for $5, which do I buy?

I figure it's worth a word to ask folks their experiences...lol...I'd rather not buy dim and easily broken crap.

Which ones do you like more? Which are brighter?

I have the Ultra ones and they are really bright. I am really happy with them.

i have a dual set of logisys blue ccfl's and have had them goin for about a year now...they seem to be nice and bright, tho i dont have anything to compare to

Try to find a vendor like SVC.com which lists the brightness levels & use that as a guide.

i. e. - ' 'Brightness: 30,000cd/m2' '

Some 12" CCFL are 18,000, others 30,000

Dam my noob ass didn’t even bother to read the specs on what the brightest lights where at SVC. So after looking at what they had I ordered this one. Luckily enough it looks to be their strongest UV 12" that they had

Put two of those exact same kits in my OCing rig - no complaints.
