I have had also thoughts in that direction, but was disappointed about the color, missing the real orange red of neon. A fake nixie with sky blue figures is for me blasphemic as you call that, or even kitsch! I had the intention to make a house number in a lamp glass in the shape of a big nixie tube. We have her the perfect ones, that are used in simple exterior lights for farms and barns. eric _____

From: "[email protected]" <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Tuesday, April 22, 2014 2:27 PM Subject: [neonixie-l] Fake gigantic nixies Has anyone used discrete bulbs, illuminated tubing, etc to create large digits that look like a large nixie tube ? Yes, I know it's a form of blasphemy, but I'm highly doubtful anyone could make a true nixie tube with 10- or 15-inch symbols. For my next project I'm thinking of using a bunch of NE-2 bulbs arranged to form digits. Definitely NOT 7-segment or 14/16-segment, 5x7 matrix, LED/LCD screen, CRT, etc. It really needs to be neon. I did consider using neon dot-matrix some displays, such as those found on pinball machines, but they aren't quite big enough. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l" group.
