...Many, 25+ years ago, I took the Class at the 'Crucible', at Berkeley. 'NEON' Gas Discharge Lighting.
I Learned the 4 Phases for Success:
High Voltage, wiring Cathodes, Anodes. Transformers, Basic and Electronic.
Glass Blowing and Sealing.
Gas Vacuuming and Precision Metered Gas Pressurizing.
Higher Voltage Burning-In.
In Class, I was First to do a 'Vessel' (Bottle) Gas Discharge Lighting. The Teacher said It couldn't be Done. I proved Him Wrong! Now, everyone is Doing It.
I was the First to Propose Neon Gas Lighting as Vehicle Taillights. Now, try and find a Exotic WITHOUT It.
I was set-up with the Glass and Equipment to Create it.
I Loved the Look of Neon Lighting, who doesn't? Did You know, the worse the weather, the Brighter and more pronounced, the Emitted Light. It has to do with the Atmospheric Pressure. And why it was so Successful in Las Vegas.
I wanted a Special Look on the rear of My Pantera. I did not create this Lights. They were purchased. Thin and Unseen until Lit. They are Not wired as Stop Lights. They are wired as 'Running/Position' Lights. The More Red in the Rear, the Safer. And I have seen some who think they are 'Cute' by 'Blacking-Out' their Taillights!! Funny!
The Last thing One will see, at Night, then I'm Gone. The License Plate lights are 4 White LEDS. On Dual Circuits.
