Unfortunately I don't have any datasheets for these but I bought a few
probably from the same seller but I can't get any of them to shine as
bright as they do in his photos.
I've driven them at the voltages, frequencies and currents that the seller
told me and also with a very similar setup lik
Oh my! I must have some... Drol!

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.

Of course, small LED or OLED displays would be even better and you could
match any display color or style.But that's blasphemy for neon
enthusiasts.

I was thinking of a PCB with various green neon bulbs (there are other
colors as well), and a driver that will get us AC on the bulbs (such as an
HV507). On top of the PC board would be a 3D-printed gizmo (black, so it's
opaque) that fit over the bulbs to create isolated light patterns for the
Ah, you're thinking of a printed mask when I was thinking printed light pipe

could try and print?
Otherwise I could have a go if you do some sort of drawing.

My only experience with STL generation is with OpenSCAD; creating a model
for the I-195 would be difficult because the shapes are so odd. On the
other hand, making the model for a 7x9 matrix for NE-2 bulbs would be
pretty simple and could be done in a few minutes.
I'm going to wait until I get
