GGG's NovaMatrix marquee light

PrizLucky:
I'm considering buying GGG's NovaMatrix marquee light.. it looks great, but I was wondering what people's experience with this has been?

Anybody using one in their cab?   I'm really wondering about how to power it... the description says it has a 6" power cord.. how do people go about extending the power cable to reach down to the power supply??

thanks

If you're using a PC power supply, there are all sorts of extensions available. Even if you don't find one of suitable length, it's pretty simple to get a length of wire of appropriate gauge and splice it in between the two connectors.

In cabs where the light is being replaced, the wiring is already in place. You just have to be keenly aware to switch the wires from the full 120V to the much lower 12V.

Randy's LCD and Andy's CCFL appear to be fantastic products. Don't let the short cord intimidate you.

cool, thanks,  does it come with a PC Power-supply type molex connector on the end?   I suppose splicing in some wire wouldn't be too tough... good call.

It does not come with a molex, one 12v wire and one ground. You could put a molex on it if you wanted to though, and in answer to your question they are great.

Another alternative is the new Cold-Cathode light from ultimarc.
