If you have a good filter and safety gap i think you'd be ok as long as you
have an ltr cap. I've ran 15/180mA worth on neons at 400-500 bps no
problems. The only thing is finding a cap that can handle the breakrate
without overheating and failing. A single string of 942c's can only do about
20mA at that rate for any length of time.
