ZIN18 Nixie Tube — Tyrant Gold Base for Bold, Elegant Modern-Legacy Builds
This version features a Tyrant Gold anodised aluminium base — a deep, premium gold tone designed to look confident and architectural rather than flashy. It pairs beautifully with matte black cases, dark stained wood, carbon accents, and minimal glass enclosures.
Inside the glass envelope, the hexagonal mesh aesthetic enhances the tube’s technical identity while keeping the digit composition visually clean and structured for camera-ready product shots and high-end installations.
Each tube is handmade in Ukraine with carefully assembled metal internals and a precision-finished base. This listing includes the tube only; a suitable high-voltage Nixie driver and compatible socket/PCB are required.
Technical Specifications
ZIN18 Nixie Tube — Handling & Installation (Tyrant Gold Base)
• Always switch off and disconnect the high-voltage power supply before inserting or removing the tube.
• Hold the tube by the metal base, never by the glass envelope.
• Align the pins precisely with your compatible ZIN18 socket/PCB and press straight down without twisting the glass.
• Use only drivers designed for the proper voltage/current range for ZIN18 tubes.
• Avoid mechanical shocks and sudden temperature changes.
This tube is supplied without a socket, driver or power supply. It is intended for experienced builders, designers and technicians working with high-voltage Nixie electronics.
