mwong,
These are considered to be "non-functional decorations" and are covered under several different rules in section 8. This one answers the question of electrical...
<R51> Decorations may draw power from the 12 Vdc electrical system as long as they are powered via a dedicated 20 amp circuit breaker on the Power Distribution Board, and do not affect the operation of other control system components. You may control them using a Spike and software but that is not a requirement.
That being said, cold cathodes are a bad choice for this year's game. The g forces encountered when coming off the bump will damage cold cathode devices. For this reason, inspectors will be checking to see if the lamp is fully enclosed so that we are not forced to clean up glass fragments on the field when they break. We are also concerned that the inverter you use for power is safe and installed in a manner that poses no threat to your team or other participants.
