Dr Res
Are Neons more sensitive than fluoros to Tesla RF?
My experiment tonight suggests otherwise and shows that a neon tube is far 
LESS sensitive than a nearly equal sized Fluoro. Electrodes on the Tesla 
side were equal sized and the other side were both connected together.  See 
the pictures here:

I suggest they look nicer but don't perform as well at least with my sample.

Neon tubes are much more sensitive to RF currents than flourescent lamps.
We use both neon and argon (blue) as accessories for our commercial coils we
market to science museums.

	Type of "neon tube" wasn't specified but I don't think he meant "sign type'.  Small tubes like the NE-2 or equivalent are very sensitive to RF voltages as low as 75 volts or so and will produce visible glow at currents of less than a milliamp.
