I want to modify my keyboard for a retro cyberpunk look and replace my LED (scroll, caps and num lock) indicators with neon indicators. I can power a neon lamp from a low voltage using a laptop CCFL inverter but I was wondering if there's any way I could power three from one inverter. They cannot be connected in parallel because only the one with the lowest forward voltage (or whatever the correct terminology is) will light. They must be connected in series. Is there some way I could use transistors to move the neon lamps in and out of the circuit? When all lamps are off, the inverter would produce a potential of, like, a 1000 or more volts.
