Although the E-L display look neat, I've concluded it's not possible to showcase them in a clock that runs 24/7 because of the poor lifetime of ~500 hours from what I've researched. Assuming I get them running, it will be more of a museum-piece clock.
I'd be interested in teaming-up with someone who has a 3D printer to make 'fake' displays with green neon bulbs to emulate this particular E-L display. They would have very long lifetimes and have a similar color, not to mention, the large size. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l" group.
