I have bought two of the Actown units (both 15 kV -at- 30 mA) and horribly
abused them in all sorts of applications (like charging a big (10 kJ) energy
discharge cap, then inadvertently using the neon as a energy dump load when
the charging diodes failed in a flashover), and they still keep on chunking
along...
