Pulled from Kitchen Jug (boiling water). Think it might be Halogen, strange 2 bars with no filament (I believe it is functional). |

Looks like a neon ... complete with current limiting resistor in one leg. |

Definitely a neon |

Correct. Probably an NE2 like this one on ebay for $1.28. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk |

Right. Looks just like this NE2 on ebay for $1.28. A similar one with a screw base was an NE51. They are current devices, just like leds. The drop across the bulb is around 65 volts as opposed to the 2 or 3 volts of an led. Unkike an led, they are not polarised and work on in both halves of the AC cycle. When they get old they start to flicker Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk |
