No you could not. Because a cold cathode needs an inverter. What the inverter does is it turns 12vDC (up to 5 amps) into around 650v 100Amps. So it turns it into ectremely high volts to ignite the CCFL. Then the voltage starts dropping. So no you cant just put in 12v 1 amp. You would need an inverter to ignite.
@omlan if you can turn 12v @ 5amps into 650v @ 100amps without adding an additional source of power then I can make you a millionaire. pm me if your interested.
What coe do you use?

Very cool; neat to see the evacuation / gas charge apparatus at the end and the obvious skill of the glass worker throughout.

Wow, I hope you did not have to listen to that annoying background music while demonstrating.

Whats does 5.0mAv mean could i wire 2 cold cathodes into a 12v ac/dc adapter that puts out 1000mA

its very good the glass from tecnolux

Tecnolux glass hails from Italy, and is shipped worldwide. Electrodes are made in Brazil.

Electrodes are made in Italy, assembled in Lithuania.
Thank you for your comment.

Yes, I am wrong. I was thinking of Eurocom's electrodes. Tecnolux makes the finest glass to make neon.
