Have you measured the power consumption of the clock ? The 6 nixies will consume about 2 watts, and everything else is dissipated as heat inside the case. That will give you a rough idea if you have a thermal problem.
If you are around 5 watts, then I'd say you're probably OK. My first nixie clock design draws about 5 watts, and everything including the tubes is sealed in a case with no heat problems. If you are significantly over 5 watts, then I would look for ways to get rid of the heat; easiest is a small fan. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l" group.
