Maybe these small neons? Left in the picture - a standard neon is on the
right for comparison. The grid on the paper is 5mm, 0.2 inches.
These are Chicago Miniature Lamp, part number A1B, Mouser part number
606-A1B.
It'll be extremely difficult to find a disposable camera with a neon lamp
instead of an LED these days, but if you search on eBay you can find a lot
of small neon lamps (usually NOS). Here's what I was able to find after
searching for miniature neon bulb
About a decade ago I used the *TINY* neons from disposable cameras to make a
fake 'colon' tube - it worked really well.
Now years later I cannot find any, all new disposable cameras use an led.
Does anyone know where I can buy some?
