I’d like to thank Victor of Bitspower for providing us with the cathode kit for review.
One of the more popular mods for computers lately especially those with side panel windows, is to install colored lights into the computer’s case. One great way of accomplishing this is to use a cold cathode kit.
Bitspower’s cold cathode kit comes equipped with everything you need to light up your case. You get a cold cathode, an inverter that can power up to two cold cathodes, an on/off switch, wiring, and Velcro tabs with sticky back tape to install all the components into the case.
Bitspower’s cold cathodes are rated with a life time usage of over 15 000 hours, which should provide adequate long life for the user.
The cold cathodes are available in a variety of colors:
Blue, Red, Green, Purple, UV, Blue+Green, Blue+Red,
Green+Red, and Blue+Green+Red.

The cathode kit was very easy to install. I had it up and running in about 5 minutes. If you like you can drill a hole in your case and mount the on/off switch, but that will add more time to the installation. The colors of the cathodes are quite spectacular, and would make a great addition to any case.
Pros:
- Easy setup
- Control up to 2 cold cathodes
- Great choice of colors
