NEON and FLUORESCENT LAMPS
Colours
Red, Amber, Clear Neon and Green Fluorescent.
 
Maximum striking voltages
Standard brightness types 65Vac 90Vdc,
High brightness types 85Vac 135Vdc.
High brightness types are usually fitted.
 
Life
Typically 25,000 (Green fluorescent lamps 20,000 hours). (Measured to a point when light output is half that of its original level.) The end of life for a neon lamp is not usually a sudden failure.
 
False signals due to long wiring
It is possible for a neon or fluorescent indicator to glow when it should be off.
These false signals are caused by the capacitance effect when fairly long wiring leading to the indicator is adjacent to other live cables. This effect can be prevented in most cases by fitting a 100K resistor across the supply wires to the indicator assembly.
