I have replaced the CCFL in a couple Kanga's, some 3400's and some Duo's. In each case I simply removed the old CCFL tube and measured it, diameter and length. Then I ordered one of the same dimensions from either Dgikey or www.JKLlamps.com. The lady at JKL lamps advised me that that was the way to do it. In all cases it has worked great. I have had to settle for lamps that wer a few mm short (just add on some "spaghetti" tubing for additional length) and I have used lamps that were about 0.5 mm larger in diameter than the original. But, they all worked great. They only cost around 10 to 15 bucks plus shipping. Greg __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
