I was going to use 270K resistors with my INS-1s with an 180v supply.

As I want to use them in pairs as the 'colons' in my Nixie clock project, I'm now thinking about using them in parallel with a 150K resistor. That would save me space on the PCB. Does this sound ok ?

Thanks

It's best to use a separate resistor for each device, because one could easily hog current from the other due to mismatching and aging. Is your PCB really that tight you cant find room for 2 more resistors ?

I did wonder about that being an issue thanks. Yes, I can squeeze in more resistors.
