It looks to me that this should work. The filament resistors calculate out correctly, both for current and cathode bias voltage, and it's certainly a simple enough circuit.
I've played around a bit with the DM-160s, both as indicators and as actual amplification elements. As displays, thy're not very bright - certainly their state would be easily visible in an indicator panel (their original application), but like the first generation LEDs, they don't actually emit much light. I don't think they'd be a very effective nightlight... (They didn't make very good amplifiers either.) For a nightlight application, I think I'd consider one of the many available VFD displays. They're equally easy to drive (a bit easier, actually - the drive voltage is often quite a bit lower at 24 volts or so). and they're available in all kinds of shapes and sizes. ~~ Mark Moulding On Thursday, December 27, 2018 at 5:23:50 AM UTC-8, Thomas Kummer wrote: > > On Thursday, December 27, 2018 at 1:04:44 AM UTC-6, Thomas Kummer wrote: > This is the schematic I’ve come up with thus far.
