The current craze started sometime around 2015 and has been steadily growing in popularity since. We'll hit peak saturation, but I really don't see it ever going away, least of all any time soon. Before LED lighting happened, we were using cold cathode lighting instead. It's not that everyone's picking up on a passing fad, but that manufacturers have tapped into something that a lot of people have always kind of wanted in the first place.

Enjoy, Brother.
That's bad in a few ways:

Remember to keep it 4'/1.25m from your paper (both the enlarger base and your development trays).
Also, here are 4 links saying the current draw for a Cold Cathode tube is 5.0mA:

So doesn't this mean that to run 2 cold cathodes, i'd TECHNICALLY only need a wall wart with a 10mA rating?
I think just the bulb would be coolest, with a shape kindof like this one here, more flat than rounded on the top and a little longer if that makes sense
These should work.
What do you already have? I really like lighting personally; LED, RGB, etc. fans are a plus, because you get good lighting AND some extra cooling. I also like the [cold cathode] (https://www.amazon.com/Logisys-CLK12BL2-Dual-Cathode-Light/dp/B0013OFJEO/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1497370306&sr=8-1&keywords=cold+cathode) light bars you can put in too. It adds a lot of nice lighting effects.
Do you think i should use these?-http://www.amazon.com/Logisys-CLK12-Cathode-3-0mm-Diameter/dp/B0013OFJEO/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1418966064&sr=1-1&keywords=pc+case+light
or these?-http://www.amazon.com/Long-Blue-Light-Strip-Adhesive/dp/B00JR3UXXK/ref=sr_1_9?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1418966064&sr=1-9&keywords=pc+case+light
The blue light is just an old blue cold cathode kit from my case modding days. ~$9 shipped on Amazon

Sorry forgot the actual link
It was so dark in there before. The H100i light is actually red, just the way my phone caught it.
