Cold Cathode Wires?

Mikaila31

I am installing some of 12" cold cathode and LED lights, that I bought off Xoxide in my car. I have had no problems running 12v wire for the LEDs and Cold Cathodes. I have everything but the cold cathode tubes installed. This is where I ran into a problem... I need to lenghten the wires that connect the CC tubes to the inverter. The packaging says the inverter output voltage is 680v. I'm kinda stumped, since I can't find any wires rated this high...... So any suggestions on where I can get additional wire to run between the CC tubes and inverter?


My car will light up like a fricken christmas tree when I'm done!

Thanks for the help,

You don't need special wire. Pretty much any wire should probably be fine.

You dont need to use this, but it helps and comes with the ends already: http://jab-tech.com/Cold-Cathode-Lam...0-pr-3265.html

So I can use like regular lamp cord between the tubes and the inverter? I don't need wire rated for 680v?


I have to run each lamp a couple feet.

You could, but 16ga speaker wire should do the trick also. Use butt connectors, or shielded spade/bullet connectors to extend them.
