Frequently Asked Questions
How is this clock different from other Nixie clocks?
Instead of separate tubes, it shows the time inside one horizontal tube. The design is deliberately bare, so the electronic chips and diodes on its base are visible.
Is it a true Nixie tube?
The display is a VFD IV-18 tube. A vacuum fluorescent display lights its characters by electrons striking a phosphor coating, so it works differently from a neon-filled Nixie tube.
How is it powered and controlled?
It is powered through USB and comes with a remote control, so you can adjust the display without touching the clock.
What are the size and materials?
It is made of acrylic and measures 16.2 cm x 4 cm x 6 cm.

Third thing I’ve ordered from here and it’s another good one. The horizontal tube looks lovely on the bookshelf, and the lit-up base is a nice touch in the evening. Only reservation is that the glow is a touch dimmer than the photos suggested, but I’m still pleased with it.
Hannah Whitcombe –
Looks smashing once it’s running, but the instructions were only in a tiny folded sheet with very small print and the time-setting part made no sense to me. Took a good twenty minutes and a YouTube video to work out the buttons. Fine now, just annoying.
Colin Draper –
My son is 11 and mad about electronics, so I bought this for his desk. He went quiet for a good ten minutes, then started asking how the tube actually works, with the filament and the glowing segments. We ended up reading about vacuum fluorescent displays together, which was a lovely surprise. The colour of the glow is gorgeous in a dark room, and you can see all the components on the base lit up underneath. Cracking gift.
Margaret Ellis –
bought for my grandson’s birthday and he grinned from ear to ear. It’s on his desk now and he shows everyone who visits. Lovely little clock.
Alice Granger –
my grandson was chuffed to bits with the nixie tube clock. The lights are mesmerising and he can’t stop fiddling with it. Every visit, he’s straight to it. Crackin’ gift for curious kids.

Such a charming little piece. Perfectly organised inside the tube, these glowing numbers are captivating. It’s a brilliant addition to my desk. Never fails to spark conversations whenever guests pop round.
