I discovered (or re-discovered) the photosensitive aspect last summer, and even tried to take advantage of that by building a box which specifically subjects a ring oscillator to varying light levels as a modulator. Yes the blue LED wash helps the neons in the rack maintain a more steady pitch. Their susceptibility to light seems to decrease as their pitch increases. Blue has the most effect, red the least.
Sadly this clip doesnt have sound, but it shows the rotator housing for the light modulator. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=knCrDCTJCEQ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l" group.
