To be honest, I'm not sure... I think it would be possible, but you'd need a correct value resistor in series with your Light

When you say case lights do you mean cold cathodes? if so then yes it will be fine just make sure you check the power consumption first to be 100% sure.

Sorry - I was assuming LEDs in my answer, but you'd probably mean Cold Cathodes like Richard said!

I dont think you could use CC's, unless you want to use some external circuitry of your own, as it is only designed to power case fans, and I *think* that a Cold Cathode will use up more power. I could be wrong, so again, as richard says, check the power usage. 8)
