This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

There's probably a standard neon tube inside. I'm not sure I'd enjoy the light coming out of it.
Maybe I could if it's very low. Do low lumen neon tubes even exist?

The article says they're LED.

Fun fact: The Sega Game Gear used a miniature fluorescent bulb called a CCFL, which is mostly responsible for its short battery life of ~4 hours on six AA batteries.

Thanks. Must've missed that yesterday, reading diagonally.
