Default UV Lights
I am trying to set a record for most CC UV lights broken, so far I am up to three. At least they are cheap. I have been getting the Ultra lights. Is there a better brand to go for? They Ultras are very weak.

I have dual Coolmaster 12" Ultra cold cathodes, they seem fine to me. I did try researching their specs and compared to rival UV lights (I wanted bright too) but the other brands didn't include their "brightness" spec. Coolmasters are 900 cd/m2.

I think the vantecs have just won. Luckily I don't have to worry about "too" bright.

Thanks guys
