Hi all,
i recently got some neon indicators, in-3 type, and am experimenting with powering them
They are rated for 90-110V @ 1.3mA
i thought the circuit i created would create a voltage divider to put it in that range when the pot is at max resistance
the tube is lighting but the pot is taking a drop of 130V, and the indicator is only getting 45V
Also, im measuring approximately 8mA of current to the indicator, and am unsure how to limit this though i am sure it is probably simple I=E/R stuff
Thanks for any help, im sure this is probably just my incompetence
