=== Other === In 1930s radio sets, neon lamps were used as tuning indicators, called "tuneons" and would give a brighter glow as the station was tuned in correctly.<ref>{{cite web|title=Tuneon|url=http://www.radiomuseum.org/tubes/tube_tuneon.html|website=Radiomuseum|access-date=12 October 2015|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151016220126/http://www.radiomuseum.org/tubes/tube_tuneon.html|archive-date=16 October 2015}}</ref><ref>[http://www.mif.pg.gda.pl/homepages/frank/sheets/060/t/TUNEON.pdf TuneOn] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180114235507/http://www.mif.pg.gda.pl/homepages/frank/sheets/060/t/TUNEON.pdf |date=2018-01-14 }} and [http://www.mif.pg.gda.pl/homepages/frank/sheets/060/t/TUNEON-BUTTON.pdf Tuneon-Button] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180114235507/http://www.mif.pg.gda.pl/homepages/frank/sheets/060/t/TUNEON-BUTTON.pdf |date=2018-01-14 }} data sheets</ref> Because of their comparatively short response time, in the early development of [[television]] neon lamps were used as the light source in many [[Mechanical television|mechanical-scan TV]] displays. [[Aerolux Light Corporation|Novelty glow lamps]] with shaped electrodes (such as flowers and leaves), often coated with phosphors, have been made for artistic purposes. In some of these, the glow that surrounds an electrode is part of the design.
