Default any way to do this?

so i was working on my wc setup and everything was all over the floor.. (i am a very unorganized person) and i just happened to step on my switch for my ccfl lights... Now, before i did this i ordered another pair of them, so im stuck with 4 ccfls and one switch. Is there any way to activate them all by the one switch i have? I dont really mind having them on constantly, just as long as they're on.

No the inverter only holds 2. You'd have to get another power inverter for the cathodes. 2 is more than enough

Look at it this way - you now have some spare lights. They can tend to fail rather frequently. so I'm sure you'll get to use them.

is it the switch or the power converters? it's only 12V going in to the converters any switch will do for that. if it is the converter, your hosed.

Well heck !

Any ol' switch will work then. Even Walmart carries some automotive ( 12 volt ) LED switches that would work fine. About $4.00 a piece. Radio shack has some too.

If you don't mind having them on all the time, just cut the wires from the switch and connect them directly:

POWER
| |
| |
INVERTER
| |
| |
LIGHTS

Instead of

POWER
| |
| |
SWITCH
| |
| |
INVERTER
| |
| |
LIGHTS
