I recently came across some high voltage lightning arrestors for $5 
each.  They are the type that have a ceramic housing and 90 gazillion 
small nonfixed p-n junctions inside.  They conduct great amounts of 
joules at 10 kv.  I'm currently running 3 12 kv 60 ma neons in parallel 
on a conventional coil.  I'm thinking about replacing the two safety 
sg's with two of them.  I have no idea what their turn on time is, but 
a lightning strike must be pretty fast. 

Anyone have experience with lightning arrestors or any thoughts whether 
they could be used to replace the safty sg's?
