    if you can't find one, just buy a white one and buy some orange (red and yellow mixed could do) bulb paint...

    Wouldn't a white tube with orange cellophane block less light?

    (If you want orange case lighting, you could of course just buy a lot of bright orange LEDs. You get quite many for the price of one cathode. You could even put them in a plastic tube to make them as easy to handle as cathodes.)

    I've got an orange neon built in inverter, molexed, plus a switch.
    I could sell it to ya on the cheap.

    Looks much more orange in person.

    $5.00 + shipping from US zip 52804 sounds fair.

    Thanks for the Offer titan but a Neon is a little large for what I need to do. Cheers for the thought/ideas guys. I'll have to consider which one is the best and use it.
    thanks!

    Thanks for the google Death_Star but I already tried it and came up with the same.. UV Reactive Fans with Cathodes pre-attached. I have some bright orange LED's but sadly I dont think they will give the effect I want, the light would be too focused.

    Has anoyone had any experiance with using gels and any idea where to get them in the UK ?
