By a stroke of luck I had bought a 12 volt fluro work light the one you hold in your hand and plug into the cigarette lighter socket.
I pulled the hand end rubber cap off and it has a circuit board with a transformer and dohicky's (yes I know technical stuff).
Hooked up a neon globe from dicksmiths and it works nice and bright with 2 legs attached and dim with one leg atached (why that is I have no idea) so $7 for the light at bunnings and $0.44 at dicksmith looks like it might be a winner if I just find where I left my multi meter I would like to measure the output and do further testing as the light gets to hot to touch after a short time.but will keep going and maybe we can use it some how for a artificial neon star.
