Product Description

The Naboo is a small, stylish, contemporary Nixie Clock, contained within a sleek stainless steel case and uses 4 off original German Z570M Nixie tubes that date back to the late 1980s. The clock itself is completely hand assembled and tested in the UK. Made as a smaller version of the T-1000, the Naboo has 4 tubes, programmable RGB under-lighting, a 12/24 hour mode, leading Zero suppression, and many other features.

Nixie tubes were invented in 1955, and were a means for early electronic devices to display numbers. They consist of a clear glass tube with the numbers from 0 – 9 stacked behind each other. The tube is filled with neon gas and then sealed. Each digit has its own connection, so when a small electrical current is applied, the neon gas around the digit is ionized and creates a distinctive orange glow. There is no heat produced, so the tubes can easily last up to 20 years.
