Electric fence charger

[Don Bruder]

Try point four milliamps. I see in Jameco they list their ne2 lamps
at point six milliamps.

Wattage? You only need to dissipate the average power not the peak
the charger can put out. There's probably a 1:100 duty cycle you're
dealing with.

The dog will have learned and the fence will be moot . . .

I will keep the fence active. Maybe the dog is smart enough to know what
the flashing lights are for.

I did notice all the suggestions about freestanding lamps. It's a very
interesting proposition, but I can't understand no clear reference to
ground. Would you have to respect the combined load and limit the number
used? Heck - you could put an infinite amount on a charged up wire and
get no current lighting.

You're *MASSIVELY* over-analyzing things. Just hang a couple of neons
off it as I (and others) have suggested, and watch it "just work".
