I recently got two of the 12" CCFL from.....ZX mods I think it's
called...offa Virtual-Hideouts page.

At first I was terribly dissapointed in the "black lights". I know not
to expect much ambient light from a black light, but these were
terrible, and they didn't even look like they were fully lit. Almost
like the inverter was not putting out enough for them. I let them
burn for a few minutes while I was looking for something around
my apartment that's UV reactive, and by the time I got back to
the two CCFLs with some glow in the dark yo-yos, it was like I
was looking at two completely different lights!

Since then they seem spot on right from the get go. It could also
be that the inverters were burning in? I don't know. But mine
seem fine now. I wouldn't worry about it unless yours get worse
rather then better...
