I bought the vibelights.com dual inverters but they won't fit with my logysys cold cathodes....Because the inverter has two female plugs for the cathodes and a male for the PSU, while the original logysys dual inverter had two male plugs for the cathodes and a male for the PSU.

I need to know what is the positive and the negative wire of this inverter to plug them or solder them on my cathodes

Female plug on the inverter to plug into the cathode (the problem is, what is the positive and negative, I don't want to burn a cathode...)

If anyone can send me pics of their vibelights cathodes kits to see the connection or help me on connecting these to my cathodes that would be cool.

Thanks.

Edit: Yeah. I know. These pics are terrible. Damn I need a new numeric cam.

im not positive, but i thought that CCs are run on AC, meaning they have no pos or neg. you could probably verify with a multimeter, if you can get the probes in there without shorting.

yeah, maybe you're right, they convert the whatever computer power (dont remember) into AC, which is non-positive or negative.....anyone can confirm so i'm sure i won't burn my cathodes???

it worked, ac power uses no negative or positive as i read on google (google is the world's knowledge database AND crap database)

I'll solder the cathodes with the inverter and i'm ready to take pics of that this weekend for an update in my mod's thread
