Low Voltage Neon Bulb

The air inside is evacuated and bulb is filled with mixture of low pressure gases around 99 of neon and 1 of helium or argon is typical.

Low voltage neon bulb.

Three neon myths dispelled. The voltmeter uses an ne 17 neon bulb for an indicator as this particular type has a lower starting voltage than most other types. Voltage between 100 and 900 volts and any d c. This particular mixture is called a penning mixtureand minimizes the ionization voltage.

The lamp glow discharge lights at its striking voltage. ø 5 mm and 12 mm long. Worked for a little while then the neon bulb started requiring a greater voltage to fire became unreliable. Are there any gases which have lower minimal breakdown voltage than neon.
