Zusammenfassung:PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To make it possible to use a neon lamp over a long period of time even if it has a short flashing cycle by driving the neon lamp by the on-control of a transistor. SOLUTION: First, a resistor 4e connected to a microcomputer 1 and a photodiode 2a of a photocoupler 2 are driven and thereby a photo transistor 2b comes to an on-state. When the photo transistor 2b comes to an on-state, base current of a transistor 7 flows and then a transistor 7 comes to a continity-state' and thereby a neon lamp 3 lights up, diodes 5a-5d full-wave rectify AC voltage from an AC commercial power supply 10. The resistor 4a limits the current in the neon lamp 3 and thereby protects the neon lamp 3. In this manner, the neon lamp 3 can be driven without installing a circuit for controlling a contact such as a relay and a TRIAC.
