When I was a kid [~50 yrs ago], I had several power strips with NE-2 indicators, where the indicator starting flicker and then eventually failed. I noticed that when sunlight hit the NE-2s, they lit more solidly: flickering converted to solid, and off converted to flickering. I always assumed it was the energy from the sun's photons that was adding just enough joules to the equation to push failing bulbs back over their ionization threshold. Same effect, probably?
which is the reason behind some neon stuff having a small amount of radioactivity added. helps kick off the Ionization.
