Purple UV dye?

[cuddles]

Anyone know where to get some? I haven't been able to find a single website that has pictures of purple UV dye. The theme for my case is going to be Twilight, so I was going to go with blue lighting / indigo dye type thing. Since I can't find any, I was going to maybe try purple lighting with blue UV dye.

Where can I find pics of either of these UD dyes?

if ur thinking of using a cold cathode please dont... They have a tendecy to explode after a while of use.. Many people do not have problems with them and the problem is not well known, but it is there.. I dont want to see you one of the unlucky ones.. And its also not something you can fix or predict to stop it from exploding...

but u can get uv dyes at danger den. probably frozencpu and crazypc.com has them.

I haven't found anyone with a decent UV pic of purple or blue dye. What else could be used for UV aside from cold cathode tubes?

what are you talking about exploding? this interests me ive never heard of this happening, and they are in plastic cases, so even if they did explode what could happen?

[MaxxxRacer]

its the power converter that explodes... www.casemodgod.com the owner of the site had it happen and he did a litle research and made an aritcle.. its on his site..

Yeah well the chance that it happens is like one in a thousand if not less. Anyway my new uv ccfls will be placed in some metal housing to reduce explosion damage if it ever may happen :P

ive had one of the converters explode, bought it from pctoys.com, had it hooked up and bam ! son of a :banana::banana::banana::banana::banana: exploded everywhere hit me in the leg and damn did it hurt, ever since then i have'nt bought a CC :( and for uv get some of the primoflex blue uv hose from frozencpu, http://www.frozencpu.com/cgi-bin/frozencpu/ex-tub-53.html, i have some and its a good lookin color of blue , identical to the pics

I prefer not to use Primoflex. Never heard a good thing about it. I tried finding coloured Tygon, but with no luck.

Seems blue / indigo / purple dye is impossible to find :(

whats wrong with primoflex?? ive had mine for about 3months and its held up perfectly, all in general its great hose, u can bend it anyway u want with no kings, its not a plastic type hose but more of a rubberish hose, very easy to bend. i give 10/10 on it

i am running 2 cold cathodes right now and i had heard of this exploding caothode story before i bought them so i just build them a little plastic box and put them in there, that way if they do explode it cant get to my parts....

[MaxxxRacer]

good idea on the boxes guys.. but i sitll dont want to deal with having one explode...

SVC.com has purple UV dye. I haven't tried it but it's on my wishlist. Anybody know if you can mix red and blue to get the shade of purple you want? I don't know if color mixing works the same way with UV dye.

Thanks for the link maxx

I didnt know you could have this problem with CC inverters.

Ill mod mine with some better caps when I get around to it.

[MaxxxRacer]

deffinetly a good idea.. from what i remeber the caps were the problem.

Nothing wrong with the Primo-Flex, its actually nice tubing. Just don't be buying it for its UV reactivity...
