A small neon lamp will give a visible glow with just a few microamps. Please don't try to draw an arc from a LOP with a neon screwdriver. you may find it unpleasant and it may render the neon screwdriver unsafe for mains testing. Actually there's a valid school of thought that says they are inherently unsafe for mains testing.
