A General Electric NE-34 glow lamp, manufactured circa 1930. Neon was discovered in 1898 by William Ramsay and Morris Travers.The characteristic, brilliant red color that is emitted by gaseous neon when excited electrically was noted immediately; Travers later wrote, "the blaze of crimson light from the tube told its own story and was a sight to dwell upon and never forget."
A test light, test lamp, voltage tester, or mains tester is a piece of electronic test equipment used to determine the presence of electricity in a piece of equipment under test. A test light is simpler and less costly than a measuring instrument such as a multimeter , and often suffices for checking for the presence of voltage on a conductor.
Gas filled tubes and neon lamps have also been used as voltage references, primarily in tube-based equipment, as the voltage needed to sustain the gas discharge is comparatively constant. For example, the popular RCA 991 [2] "Voltage regulator tube" is an NE-16 neon lamp which fires at 87 volts and then holds 48–67 volts across the discharge ...
You have to read expensive (often upwards of $50) technical books from the standards bodies. One page of the website you already cited contains exactly my point - for the neon tester it says the purpose of test is "1. Shock hazard; 2. Identity; 3. For hotness, which MIGHT be able to carry load". MIGHT is the operative word.
A solenoid voltmeter with attached test leads; the instrument is more rugged than a D'arsonoval type of meter, but not as precise. A solenoid voltmeter is a specific type of voltmeter electricians use to test electrical power circuits. [1]

The standard provides with the document kind classification code (DCC) a structured letter-code for the classification of any kind of document.. A public access database IEC 61355 DB [3] is available in order to facilitate the individuation of the correct code to be applied to a document
