Best source for replacement CCFL (backlight)?

[sojourner]

Hi Guys

Have to replace two CCFL's (two T41 XGA 14" screens, both light slowly, have a pinkish hue initially). Was wondering a couple of things:

1. best source for a GOOD CCFL replacement tube?
2. correct size for my T41's (2 x 290mm or 292mm)?

- assuming 292mm is correct length -
found tubes at Mouser:

This tube is made by JKL Components (never heard of them). They any good? Seem to spec. well for brightness!

CCFL Warehouse:
http://www.ccflwarehouse.com/20x29fuspcc.html
This tube has a lower brightness spec., any good?
The link below looks like the same store as above only with better pricing.

and of course eBay:

Noticed most bulbs do not list a brightness spec!

Never replaced a CCFL but willing to give it a try, just need a good source to buy a GOOD bulb from.
Thanks for your help!

You need 290mm CCFLs, such as http://www.lcdparts.net/ccflDetail.aspx?ProductID=1695
I buy from them all the time.
Intensity 45000
$9.99 each + shipping

RBS, thanks for your reply. Pulled the old CCFL tube out (what a LONG tedious job), checked the length, the glass measured 11-7/16 (290mm as you said). Checked around for 290mm bulbs and couldn't find them anywhere else with same light output so ordered from Moniserv. Not looking forward to reassembling, hoping all goes well !

Thanks again for your input
