Nixie Tubes are the LED's of the Past
Grab your chance NOW! Build your own limited edition Nixie Clock!
What are 'Nixie' tubes? Nixie tubes are the LED indicators of the past. In the 1950's, 60's, and early 70's, there were no LED or liquid crystal displays.
So, neon gas filled tubes were used to display numerical data. These Nixie tubes were commonly found on scientific equipment, counters, voltmeters, control panels, etc. Nixies feature a characteristic warm orange glow. Having been widely replaced by newer display technology, Nixie tubes are no longer mass produced, which explains their price today.
Now however, thanks to the K8099 limited edition kit production, historians and electronics aficionado's can build, own, and proudly show future generations a working historical specimen of this digital display technology from an earlier day.
