What is a sound activated cathode?

Sound activated cathode applies to the type of lighting system popular with designers of lighting and modifiers of computers or modifiers, consisting of a cathode beam lighting tube commonly lit in bright neon colors. These lights are designed to activate or flashes with the rhythm of music, often with sensitivity to control pulse speed. The units are sometimes operated with an increased transformer, on a direct current (DC) usually 12 volts (V) and connected to PIN-and-Socket style connectors. Sold in the sets, they can be accompanied by inverters that limit the sensitivity of activation and control and strength to suppress audio control.

Cold cathode fluorescent (CCFL) tubes work on the principle of cathode beam lighting; They use the type of light beam generated in the vacuum tube by using electric gas discharge, commonly mercury steam. The excitation of the plasma arch emits the ultraviolet (UV) radiation that shines on the phosphorescent glass surface.Tampered cathode tubes und Activated can be dressed in a tinted sleeve to increase the color effect. They can be mounted with bindings or strips of hooks and loops. As a result, they produce very little heat, causing sound activated cathode lights ideal for placement in cases or interiors. These lights often have a lifetime of about 15,000 hours, which is projected within a few years of continuous use.

Sensitivity to sound and musical rhythms makes them a distinctive element for people trying to create a dramatic lighting effect or mood. CCFL can improve darker environment and add excitement and atmosphere, as well as draw attention to the emotional effects of music. Sound activated cathode accessories are sometimes integrated into separate sound activated modules that provide characteristic sound reactions. These modules can also work with the diode emitting foldersvou (ice) emitting lights. They are often easily installed using simple connectors.

The distinctive and bright, sound -activated cathode lights can contain very sensitive responses to the sound and add a lot of fun to their surroundings. Generally affordable will usually be warmed up to their most full brightness several hours after their initial activation. Colors can include green, purple, blue, orange, white and red, although the nature of this lighting makes the red color more difficult to replicate and the real red cathode all the more desirable among enthusiasts. Products may include cathode -illuminated fan sets that will replace computer components, individual or multitube sets, and various adapters and switches.
