I want to build a floodlight by combining the CCFLs of many broken LCD monitors (laptop and desktop) The laptops come with nice, compact inverters which I can re-use relatively easily but the desktop screens use massive circuit boards with a load of unrelated stuff which I think is too bulky, considering I'd want to use 15-20 such circuits in a single floodlight. Would it be feasible to make a single large inverter to run something like 60 CCFL tubes at the same time? I'm not sure but I think the voltage is like 700-1000 V and the current would be, like, 60 x 20 mA = 1.2 A.
