Temp'n'Glow

", the new secret among nixie 

enthusiasts, is a Nixie tube thermometer for the slim, beautiful IN‐16 tubes. 

 

Fast, secure installation without any adjustment are the features of this kit as 

well as its modern look. 

 

But the technology is state of the art, too. 

A smart menu system makes operation easy. 

Adjustable change interval, error detection and many other features are standard on 

"Temp'n'Glow". 

 

A high

to go 

light is the so‐called "Cathode Poisoning Prevention". This feature allows the digits 

through certain periods (slot‐machine effect).  

This will protect the cathode deposits and as a result of that your tubes live longer.  

 

 

 

Enjoy
