Dr Res
I puzzle over your reply.  You only respond to my first sentence, yet you 
remove the link to the actual experiment that I conducted indicating you had 
read it. You make a statement that you use both neons and argons and that 
you recommend a size of 6 inches x 18mm (similar to the size I used). Argon 
is not commonly available in the pilot light size so I don't think you are 
referring to this. Yet you give a range that is about 2 orders of magnitude 
greater than what I am obtaining.
Let me explain that. I record neons as firing at half the distance and you 
record them as firing at 5 times the distance.  This is a 10 fold distance 
discrepancy = 100 fold difference in radiated power by the inverse square.
Can you explain. Do you have photos to support your case? Were your pick up 
electrodes equal? Was your fluoro of comparable size?
