If you are a commercial business looking for a lighting solution for your ceiling or walls, want to create a wall wash effect, provide light up panels and counter fronts, or generate a soft subtle lighting effect in any other location, then you should consider cold cathode lighting. In looks it is very similar to fluorescent tube lighting with its tubular shape, but is very different in the way it operates. The power surges into the tube as soon as it is switched on which means there is no irritating flicker as with fluorescent lights. 

Available in a range of colours and sizes, once the tube begins to heat up the resistance to current flow begins to drop resulting in it steadily requiring a lower voltage to continue working, this can save up to 92 percent of energy in comparison to dichroic light bulbs. 

Cold cathode lights don't get hot, can be as much as 5 times brighter than neon lighting, and have one of the longest lives of any other lighting fixture around, said to be up to 50,000 hours! Unlike regular lights cathode lights don't use up extra power from being switched on and off. 

Cold cathode lighting is ideal for all kinds of locations and can be seen everywhere due to their many advantages. You'll find them in stores, hospitals, art galleries and libraries as well as many business premises. They are used to best effect in alcoves where indirect lighting for artistic effect is required, or to light up recesses and bays. 

Cathode lighting is a big step forward for lighting manufacturers reducing the fixture to a sleek and smaller shape than traditional fluorescent lighting. With a long life expectation, no flickering to bother you, high brightness, and flexible nature it is a lighting fixture that is innovative and creative. They are also totally recyclable once they have come to the end of their lighting life, some websites will also ensure all their products are fully recyclable so do your bit for the environment and check them out.
