What color is the Neon - is it orange or red ?

Red means there is a trace element to help it keep going... a nuke particle.

Hard to say because the lens is red plastic, and the assembly is glued
together.


Might be over driven - e.g. - more current than normal so the intensity
stays on longer.

I recall that the harder one drove a neon bulb, the faster it wore out.
