Can a regular modern household dimmer switch be used to changed the 
output levels on a 15kV/30mA neon?  Or are the power requirements of the 
neon too high for the dimmer switch?  (I believe those dimmers are 
electronic now eh?)

Thanks - and thanks for the great reading material!  (ie the mailing 
list!)
