[QUOTE="ProDave, post: 386567, member: 6969"] A ccfl operates from a high voltage, so to get it to work from 12V you need an inverter, which I think is what the kits you link to is. But I have to question WHY you want to run them from a wall wart PSU? If you want to run it in a building from a mains supply, then make your life simple and buy ccfl fittings designed to operate directly from the mains. The sort that go under kitchen wall cupboards would be a good place to start. If for some reason you really want to run them from 12V then get a ccfl fitting designed for a caravan. You will then just have to check the manufacurers rating of how many amps it requires to determine if your wall wart will power one or more of them. [/QUOTE]
