Frequently Asked Questions
What is a nixie tube clock?
A nixie tube clock displays time using gas-discharge tubes originally developed in the 1950s. The EleksTube IPS series uses modern IPS LCD screens inside genuine quartz glass tubes to faithfully simulate the warm, floating-digit glow of vintage nixie tubes - without the high voltage, limited lifespan, or fragility of original tubes.
How do I set up the clock?
Connect the USB-C cable to a 5V/1A power source. For first-time Wi-Fi setup, join the open network beginning with EM-IPS-, open 192.168.4.1 if the setup page does not appear, and connect the clock to a 2.4 GHz network. Press the rightmost clock button to view its IP address, then open that address in a browser on the same network.
Can I customize the clock face?
Yes. Use WebUI Dial Manage to choose faces included with the firmware, browse downloadable online packs, or create and upload your own ten-digit clock face. The Images library also accepts personal images, while System controls the base RGB light color and effects.
Does it require an app?
No app or desktop client is required. Current models ship with the latest official WebUI firmware, which opens in a modern browser on a phone, tablet, Mac, or PC connected to the same Wi-Fi network as the clock.
What is the difference between IPS PRO and PR series?
