Not that I would,but have seen it done,Why do these tubes glow in proximity to high power cables with no visible connections.At night it is quite visible.

The electric field density is enough to cause ionisation.

i've done it accidently under a train overhead wires and it's spooky....i cant understand how it starts up without a ballast and starter to actually ionise the neon to start..actually keeping it alight i can understand through inductance

Stray electric field from the HT wires makes you wonder what harm they are doing to us.

It is because the hydrolastic foo foo valve is to close to the flux capacitor near the giggle pin !
