well... effectively i don't know if "neon" is the right word... here in italy we call so.. Maybe light tube is more correct... Sorry!

Sure it a tube... but that's not the point..
A neon tube needs a series inductor and a starter, but this tube is constructed with a filament like a normal lamp.

found this

And this... What do u think?

AuroraB · 22nd March 2004, 09:46 PM

Both circuits looks OK, - I think I have seen both before....
Just change the trafo with a 220V version...
and beware-- they most certainly will generate switching noise...possibly pick up by the amp in your car.
An input filter in the DC feed is highly recommended!

One came from a japanese webby...another from aroncake I think...if I'm not wrong there is another simpler version available on the japanese website...the hard part would be to make it silent...it will put out some noise...like the previous poster said u need something to prevent ur car amp from picking it up...and be careful with these...can put out a nasty shock if not treated with respect...

some capacitor at the input stage? Maybe useful? I'm a beginner so i don't know how avoid noise.. Thanx

anyway these circuitshould work right???

MaXiZ · 26th March 2004, 09:48 AM

well???

They should work alright...provided u have the correct current...you might wanna try a higher frequncy one to reduce audible noise and reduce flickering...also the transformer has to be of a adequate current...
