In the first batch I will most likely use IN-8's. The nominal current is ca 2.5 mA so with a 4 tube clock I should need 10 mA to get the same brightness. I do think that it might be (far) too bright for use during the night, but I reckon that I can control that with a lower duty cycle for either the anode or cathode drivers.
I haven't completed the design yet, but if it turns out to be too difficult to get a full 10 mA at 200 V then it is probably not a big deal. /Anton -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l" group.
