5W Inverter Circuit for Neon Bulb

This is the schematic diagram of simple 5W inverter circuit for Neon bulb. The inverter will convert the DC current (from battery) into AC current, from 12V DC to 220V AC with output power approximately 5 Watt.

Because of the output power which is low, this 5W inverter circuit is tipically used for emergency lighting with maximum power of 5W. But you may use this converter for other purposes that do not require large electric power, for example: mobile phone charger, MP3/MP4 player battery charger etc.
