how to rig a moonlight.

[skillzdatkillz]

Well Im pretty techno challenged and im readin up on how to rig up cold cathode pc lights to work out of a power outlet and Im not really understandin it. So do u have to cut the molex connecter off the end of the light then solder it onto somthing? Help and pics are greatly appreciated.

Did you buy a kit or something?

Can you show what you have?

'Cause right now I'm not understanding and I am techno savy ;-)

I see said the blind man... You would either have to seal (waterproof) the inverter or cut and extend the wires to the lamp. I don't know if the inverter has enough power to run extended wires, these systems are usually designed to work with a certain length of wire so they don't have to use any larger psu than necessary (cheap). But for 8 bucks give it a try. Seal the tube ends too.

Ok...I slighly understood what you said. Is the inverter the little box thats connected to the Lights out of the box? Also What do I need to be able to plug it into the wall?

 

[Dr Joe]

A 12v wall-wart power supply should work fine.

solder or crimp on connectors. solder and heat shrink is trhe best way though.
