Default ? on neon light as static discharge device


"Dave" wrote in message even in very strong
Hey Chris,

Thanks for the input. I am wondering why a neon bulb would include a 100K
resistor... To maybe lessen the current being driven through the bulb?
I'm going to have to check that out.

Appreciate your feeback.

Dave

The neon lamp works the same as a gas voltage
regulator--about 80 volts or so IIRC...
The resistor serves to limit the current.

Pete
