What Will Make Your UV Sleeving Glow?

Hi OCN Members!

This might sound like a silly question (this is my first ever plan to build a computer) but if i was to sleeve my cables with UV Sleeves, what will be the "light" which will be used to make the UV glow? Is it LED lights? Cold Cathode lights?

The same question goes for any UV material used in a computer case.

I would greatly appreciate your answers

Best Regards

You can used any UV light. You get UV cold cathodes really cheap and i belive you get UV leds aswell now too. Bitfenix will be bringing out there alchemy LED strips in UV aswell.

Just make sure whatever you buy gives off UV light and you don't end up with just some purple lights:p

Great thank you all for responding promptly! I will most probably wait for bit Bitfenix to bring out their alchemy UV LED strips!
