A friend recently tore apart a cracked LCD panel, and gave me the CCFL tubes from it. I wouldn't mind using them for something, but unfortunately, he threw the rest of the unit away, so I need to find another inverter for them. The tubes have no identifying marks on them.
So: Is there a "rule of thumb" (such as volts/inch) to use in sizing an inverter for these? I see units that go from 600 volts to 1500 volts, and while brighter is better, I'd rather not cut the lifespan dramatically short.
