Do Cold Cathods count as UV?

I'm looking at some things that say UV reactive, and im wondering what actually gives off the UV light? Do cold cathods give off UV reactive light?

Are there any other computer friendly UV lights?

~Thanks
 
UV Reactive normally means it glows under UV light, but does not emit it. Normal UV cold cathodes will emit UV Light.
 
CCT, LED, Neon tubes.

You just have to get UV lights. Anything that will work in a car will work in your PC. 12v car battery, 12v rail on the PSU.
 
Well, I was thinking of purchasing a vantec 305 fan controler and light controler. The thing says it comes with 2 vantec blue CCFL's. I'm just wondering if UV reactive things in my case would react to these CCFL's or if it will just light up the case.

Edit: It seems from what some of the reviews are implying, is that this is actually just blue... and vantec offers 4 other colors... UV being one of them i guess. I think i just answered my own question, go figgure.

Yes you did. A UV cold cathode will have a purple hue.
 
Not unless you get one that emits as little visible light as posible. Don't know which brand does that though...
 
I'd wonder if there is some kind of lighting film (gels as they're called) that will block the purple but not the UV, seems plausable. That way your UV stuff would glow, but you would see no lighting.
