Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What are Nixie tubes and how do IN-12 Nixie tube clocks work?

A: Nixie tubes are cold-cathode vacuum tubes filled with neon gas. Each IN-12 tube contains multiple wire cathodes shaped like numerals (0–9). When voltage is applied to a specific cathode, it glows with a warm orange light, displaying that digit. This retro technology dates back to Soviet-era electronics and is highly prized by collectors and tech enthusiasts for its unique, atmospheric glow.

Q: Does this clock require a battery, and is it included?

A: This Nixie tube clock can be powered via a TYPE-C 5V cable (included) or a 3.7V lithium battery. Please note that the lithium battery is not included and must be purchased separately. We recommend using the included power cord for primary desktop use.

Q: Can I customize the RGB lighting on this Nixie clock?

A: Yes! The clock features built-in RGB LED underlighting with multiple modes including rainbow cycling, breathing light, and solid monochrome colors. You can switch between modes and adjust settings using either the included remote control or the onboard keypad.

Q: Will the clock lose time if the power goes out?

A: No. This advanced Nixie clock includes a power failure memory function, which retains the set time even after the power is cut. Once power is restored, the clock resumes displaying the correct time without requiring you to reset it manually.
