>From my Radio Shack education back in the early 1970's..NE-2 bulbs required 220K when running off 120VAC line and used 1/25 watt. NE-2H (high-brightness) used a 22K resistor and used 1/4 watt. -

There are many types/models of NE-2 neons, look at the table at the end of the book "Using and Understanding Small Neon Lamps" by William G Miller, might be in the files section on teh forum or can be downloaded from the internet, the list contains recommended resistor values for 115 VAC - the

Tohan  I was taught to use 47 K resistors for NE-2 on 110 volts AC when I started back in 1975.   My lamps may be  NE-2 probably - I bought them in bulk at surplus stores and they are unmarked. I have had 8 running in my house since 1987 and none show any signs of darkening and I cannot
