Why is the power drain such a huge issue in the thread? The OP doesn't plan to do anything fancy like having a huge chain of relays to decode bcd, just simply driving them from a microcontroller straight up. A six-digit nixie clock would only have 6 relays on at the same time, and a normal small

Hi, You can use bistable relays with one coil, they change state for every pulse, so to turn them on you pulse them once and to turn them off again you pulse them once again - there are also bistable relays with two coils where one coil is used to turn them on and the other to turn them off.
