Farmers sometimes place luminous tubes next to electric fencing to check if it works, when there's a power pulse the tube lights up.

CB/armature radio antennas will light florescent tubes up when held near them on transmit.

There's an artist that "planted" thousands of florescent tubes into a field near an electricity pylon.

The tubes are powered by residual emmisions from the pylon, causing them to flicker and light up randomly as darkness falls.

The closer you stand to one the more likely it is to light up.

"You affect the lights by your proximity to them," explained Richard "Because you are a much better conductor than a glass tube.

"And there's sound as well as light - a crackling that corresponds to the flashing of the lights. There's a certain smell too, and your hair stands slightly on end."
