Those high voltage indicator gadgets used in series to spark plugs to tell the presence of high voltage pulses; are they a plain neon bulb or something else ?

What about a xenon bulb from photoflash, would it equally work, or work much better ?
About the current, what to expect from a spark plug wire ?
About the bulb; being a neon, would it have a detrimental resistive current limiting ?
If a xenon, will the current limiting be much less and the flash more intense than neon ?
I have all the parts to make one with any bulb inside a huge clear fuse holder, but do not want to risk the survivability of 1" xenon tubes from my parts bin. What do I need to learn ?
