Hi folks,
finally I got my first glow lamp working. It is the third try, therefore
I call it "GL-LS-3", short for glow lamp lab sample 3. See two pictures
here:

It consists of 9mm soda lime tubing and Dumet wire. The gas filling is
normal air at 9mbar. It ignites nicely at roughly 550V DC.
I used a simple propane torch for the glass work. Will switch to a
hand-held oxygen-propane torch in a few months though (when I have
enough time and money).
I will get my needle valve in two weeks or so, then I will be able to do
something with neon. Believe it or not: over two months lead time for a
silly needle valve... Anyway, I hope I will have the tube making content
prepared for my website by then. It is piling up, but there is still
much to do.
Best regards
Jens
