Neon

1) A type of discharge lighting generated by a high voltage across two electrodes at opposite
ends of a long, thin glass tube filled with neon gas. Different colours can be obtained by mixing
other gases, or by using fluorescent coatings. Mostly used for advertising signs - the glass tube
is bent to form letters.
2) A small mains voltage indicator lamp.
