Or you can simply add a toggle switch on the clock front that 
disconnects the high voltage to the tubes.

        That way the clock runs dark until someone turns on the tubes.   Turn 
the tubes off when you leave the room.

        Easy.  Simple. Effective.

        I feel like PIRs are a must on most nix clocks. Why burn up tubes when 
no one is around to enjoy the glow? Seems like a total waste. 
        
                 
        
                For older stuff that doesn't have PIR compatability built in, 
you can always get an external PIR controlled switch:

                        Datasheet does give an expected lifetime of 10,000 hrs, 
which is pretty good. Put a PIR on a clock with them and it'll last a long 
time...
