7. Neon lighting - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neon_lighting

   The energy dissipation in the lamps when they are glowing is very low (about 0.1 W), [31] hence the distinguishing term cold-cathode lighting. Some of the applications of neon lamps include: [31] Pilot lamps that indicate the presence of electrical power in an appliance or instrument (e.g. an electric coffee pot or power supply).
