Neat.  Their products are amazingly expensive, though.

Depending on your definition that might actually be the second largest.  
Philips built neon displays that visually look exactly like Nixie tubes that 
were much larger.  Those are technically different: a Nixie tube uses multiple 
electrodes shaped like the shapes you want, enclosed in a single gas-filled 
enclosure.  The big Philips displays are multiple regular neon discharge tubes 
(like the ones used on advertising signs) enclosed in a transparent shell 
shaped like a tube.

These were used at the Evoluon museum in Eindhoven for the daily visitor 
counter.  They were installed in the main hall, on the railing of the first 
balcony.  I'm not sure of their size, but I would guess 3 feet or so high.
