i think cold cathodes run n a lower voltage, mines has a seperate wee box that you plug the positive into then a switch off the negative into it and you just plug two cathode tubes into it
pics rather crap but theyre better than neons

Cold Cathodes are cheap and cheerful and do a very nice job in any install, they do break fairly easy. Look at www.ebuyer.com for them or on Ebay

Cold Cathode run very high out put... but are very fragile... hence why neon is used more on car installs.
CC is used in shop fitting too
