Mine were on continuously. First sign of failure was when one or more of the digits stopped lighting up.  On Dec 17, 2024, at 12:31 AM, Nicholas Stock <nickst...@gmail.com> wrote: Mine are timed on and off at set hours, so you can half the actual on time to about 3 months...  Sent from my iPhone On Dec 16, 2024, at 21:02, Richard Scales <rich...@scalesweb.co.uk> wrote: For these usage figures - is that 6 months of continuous operation or 6 months of being on for a fixed number of hours a day or 6 months with the clock being activated by a PIR/Motion sensor? - Richard On Tuesday, 17 December 2024 at 04:51:08 UTC Peter Hall wrote: I luv me in17s.... especially the socket type.

I find they last about 4 to 5 months then fail (probably through a short between cathodes). I got fed up changing them in one of Mr Nixie's clocks so it just sits there blank...It's a shame because they're quite 'cute' little tubes, but the IN17's last for years... I've only ever had one fail to date. On Mon, Dec 16, 2024 at 5:25 AM Richard Scales <ric...@scalesweb.co.uk> wrote: Nick, I have 1000+ so should be good!

I've just made an IN-2 version of the same clock, they are not quite so clear IMHO.  - Richard On Sunday, 15 December 2024 at 22:23:21 UTC newxito wrote: Some time ago, I built a series of calculators with different nixie types. The version with the IN-17 tubes is definitively my favorite. I'm not a big fan of LED backlighting, but it looks great with the IN-17s. The calculator has been running 24/7 on my desk since April 2023 (mainly in clock mode with PIR) and none of the 14 tubes have failed so far. Leroy Jones schrieb am Sonntag, 15.

Looks bright and clear.  Runs at around 1.2 mA at 170 volts using 30k anode resistor. I'd like to hear everyone's opinion and experience with the IN-17 tube. Any ideas or comments?     Thanks.   -Chuck -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l" group.
