NEON NE2 120V 0.0003A USA bulb specifications:
thats what a neon type ne2 uses ,it depends what type you are using for your calculation .
i checked radio shack specs ,no detail on site.
i do not recommend the radio shack 12 volt they are ok for car 12 volt systems
at 150 k for neon ne2 possibly 1.5 meg would work on 12 volt , this would limit the current, i do not recomment using the 12 volts. again i would need to know type of neon used to be accurate.
but the spikes vary on these fans .
i have ran the ne2 neon with no resistor. Again as i have stated you dont need the neon if you cant get it right now. just turn it off before you take the battery off and hook the battery up first before you turn it on, you should be ok. happy experimenting.
theremart on page 2 of this thread has a great recommendation for ordering neons .
you can order online at radio shack if local one has no stock of 110v
but the current draw on ne2 is very low micro amps on this fan
