Neon Lamp Festoon

Product Code : SCL-EI-10615

The Neon Lamp Festoon from Lab Glassware Manufacturer, a scientific and educational equipment manufacturer based in Ambala, Haryana, India, since 1982, is a compact neon indicator lamp used for school physics experiments, electrical circuit demonstrations, and polarity observation. It is supplied to schools, colleges, and institutional buyers across India and exported to countries including the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Oman as part of the company's Gulf region science-education supply.

Quick answer: The Neon Lamp Festoon is a small glow-discharge neon lamp used to demonstrate electricity behaviour in school and college physics labs. It shows students how a neon lamp glows once the applied voltage crosses its operating threshold, making it useful for indicator-light circuits, AC/DC comparison experiments, and basic electronics teaching, always under supervised, current-limited conditions.

How to Use the Neon Lamp Festoon

Check the confirmed voltage rating and current requirement before use.
Mount the lamp only in a compatible festoon holder or approved circuit assembly.
Connect the lamp according to the circuit diagram supplied by the teacher or technician.
Use the correct current-limiting resistor if the circuit requires one.
Apply the recommended supply voltage and observe the lamp glow.
Disconnect the power supply before removing or replacing the lamp.

Safety note: Do not connect the Neon Lamp Festoon directly to mains power unless the complete circuit, insulation, resistor value, and lamp rating are verified by a qualified instructor or technician.

Care & Maintenance

Store the lamp in a dry, padded container to protect the glass body.
Do not bend, crush, or force the metal end contacts into an unsuitable holder.
Keep the lamp away from moisture, loose conductive wires, and impact damage.
Replace the lamp if the glass body is cracked, blackened, loose, or visibly damaged.

Building a Complete Circuit Demonstration Set

The Neon Lamp Festoon is often used alongside other basic circuit-teaching components. Schools building a supervised indicator-light or AC/DC demonstration typically pair it with a Lamp Holder on Base E10 for safe mounting, an Incandescent Bulb for comparing glow-discharge versus filament lighting, and Resistors for Breadboard to apply the current-limiting protection recommended above. For connecting these components into a test circuit, a set of Test Leads (4mm, Set of Ten) completes a basic, classroom-safe electrical demonstration bench.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Neon Lamp Festoon used for?
A Neon Lamp Festoon is used as a visual indicator in electrical circuits and physics demonstrations. It helps students observe glow discharge, circuit completion, and basic AC/DC behaviour.

Is the Neon Lamp Festoon suitable for school laboratories?
Yes. It is suitable for supervised school laboratory use when the correct circuit, voltage rating, and current-limiting protection are used.

Does a neon lamp need a resistor?
Many neon lamp circuits require a current-limiting resistor to prevent excessive current. The exact resistor requirement depends on the confirmed lamp rating and circuit voltage — see our Resistors for Breadboard.

Can students use it for AC and DC experiments?
Yes, it can be used in suitable AC and DC demonstrations under teacher supervision. The circuit must match the lamp's rated operating conditions.

Is the holder included with the lamp?
The standard listing should be treated as lamp only unless a holder is specifically mentioned. Add the holder, resistor, or leads to the specification if they are supplied.

What details should be confirmed before ordering?
Confirm the voltage rating, current rating, festoon size, contact type, quantity, packaging, and whether a resistor or holder is included — confirm these details with the specific listing or your quote before ordering.
