The world's largest manufacturer of neon bulbs is in the PRC and
they'll be delighted to send you a containerload of any variety of
NE2 that you'd like in anything from normal to super brightness, as
well as in a variety of colors. There's no shortage of these things.

I think I just found their website whilst noodling around. They can make 2.5
million NE-2's a day, minimum order is 100K bulbs.
Thats a lot of blinky lights...
