Likely, the current is low. Most "neons" pass only low tens of

rated for 6-10VA with a center-tapped 220V primary would do.

Use it in "autoformer" mode, hooking 220V to the outside leads, and
tapping 110V from the line-neutral leg to the center leg.

Ok, just to make sure bases are covered, I've been told that in
Australia, 220 is -220-, either leg to ground is 220, not 110.
Don't know if that changes anything you wrote above...

Still works.
And you have a 3 watt bulb if it's like the Damar , so you don't need
a honking big transformer..

Google "115/230V DUAL PRIMARY TRANSFORMER" there is one for $12.50
plus shipping.
