Three neon lamp indicator things.
Found this in the box from Jace. They have one neon lamp each and three contacts underneath. According to Jace they have no current-limiting device inside! I'll soon try to light them up with a ~ 5KOhms resistor.

There was some WEIRD parts inside actually...I never said they didn't have current limiting device....but when I tried to connect it to the mains...something inside exploded! There was few parts inside...weird ones..

It's not ONLY a neon inside it, there was something else inside....and I am not sure what they are either...

A few told me they think they are little lights that light down the floor which attaches to theater chairs along the walkway...,

I did try them with inverter which did light them up......but I wouldn't use 120 volt....because there was other stuff inside it...remember that...

Well if something blew, they lack something to limit current properly, logically!

Anyway... I will take one apart when I have time.

GOOD LUCK VINCE! I had a hard hard hard time opening it....you can't actually open it until you BANG it with an HAMMER breaking the plastics! GOOD LUCK OPENING IT without breaking any part of it!

*WD-40 can showing up* WD-40 is coming to the rescue! Cool

What the heck is that Shocked I guess there is a good lesson learn when you first attempt to try something that you don't know Razz

Good Luck Vince...the threaded part actually screws on to whatever this thing goes onto ....understand it has 3 contacts...but the outer 2 contacts are actually the same (Neutral) and the middle contact is the hot......I would assume the socket for those things have some kind of low voltage target shaped contacts...where you screw this thing onto the socket...makes sense?
