There are. David Forbes and another person building nixie wristwatches use a current regulated switching power supply for maximum efficiency. There are also several very good Jim Williams application notes detailing how to build a current regulated switching power supply (most of the examples are CCFL supplies, but there are a few other variants like a helium-neon laser). - John -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l" group.
