    I always see pictures of blue UV reactive round cables on sale and they are glowing very brightly. Has anyone been able to get them glowing like that? I use a few sunbeam UV cathodes (newer ones - fixed the old uv problem) and some galaxy uv rounded cables and I can't get them that bright. Maybe I need more cathodes...or do people do things with the pictures? Like use a ton uv light?

    Anyone have any suggestions on a brand of uv blue cables that glows very brightly?

    if you can take your cathodes out of their protective tubes (if they have them and be REALLY REALLY Careful, I will not be held responsible for any damage :D) and see if that makes a difference.
    Have you tried putting the cables right against the cathode to see if that works. Have you also tried taking any photos to see if that makes them show that bright. It can sometimes be the case (esp. With digital cameras) that the UV light shows a different colour/brighter as an image than it really is. I can take a picture of a UV cathode with one camera and it shows bright blue and with another a purple.

    Let us know how you get on :)
