But at 60Hz the on-time will be much longer. If the threshold is ~60V, the bulb will turn on at ~20° into the half cycle and turn off at ~160°. At 60Hz, the on duration will be ~6.5mS. The edge of a 12" platter will move ~.136" in that time.

The LED method undoubtedly uses a square wave with a low on-time duty cycle to create a crisp display.

Does the neon bulb intensity vary with current between the on threshold and off threshold?
