8 watts is a lot, you should easily be able to find that with your finger. It'll be hot. On Thursday, June 15, 2017 at 11:10:00 AM UTC-5, gregebert wrote: > > Have any of you MOD_6 owners measured the power consumption of the entire > clock ? > > > >

That was transient, but you make a valid point...has settled at the 200 dollar mark for some time now as far as I can tell. Still too much for my blood considering Dalibor's offering. I remember when Jan was selling them for 50 dollars a piece. On Thu, Jun 15, 2017 at 4:33 PM, Paul Andrews

Maybe a reference to the Dutch tulip bubble of 16 something. And no I'm not joking. However the bubble in Z568 seems to have burst, judging by what I read a few years ago. Now we just need Dalibor to have the same effect on top view tubes. On Jun 15, 2017, at 6:44 PM, Nicholas Stock

Have any of you MOD_6 owners measured the power consumption of the entire clock ? When I have 6 tubes running on my setup, it's around 25 watts

Re: [neonixie-l] Re: Well I tried, big tubes on ebay this am

The Chinese nixies QS-30 and SZ-8 also have short lifetimes of respectively 1000 and 500 hours per datasheet. In my experience they don't last very long indeed compared to tubes with mercury. Especially the one in the 10s of hours position in my clocks. It's a pity because they have a really
