Interesting indeed! Could be, especially given the fact that some
Burroughts tubes have Radon 85 in them to help them ionize in the
dark. Seems to be the same idea? Jens

When I was a kid [~50 yrs ago], I had several power strips with
NE-2 indicators, where the indicator starting flicker and then
eventually failed. I noticed that when sunlight hit the NE-2s,
they lit more solidly: flickering converted to solid, and off
converted to flickering. I always assumed it was the energy from
the sun's photons that was adding just enough joules to the
equation to push failing bulbs back over their ionization
threshold. Same effect, probably?
which is the reason behind some neon stuff having a small amount of
radioactivity added. helps kick off the Ionization.
