As I said, the resistance of the rubber is relatively high. This is not a problem because there is a high voltage but low current. Consequently there is a low voltage drop across the junction of lamp an rubber. That is to say that you do no need to use a very low resistance material.


Still silver is certainly the best conductor, followed by copper. Gold does oxidize the least. Just use copper coated with silver or tin. You can wrap the tube's wire with that other wire (should be thin). If it fails again you know where to look

I was wondering about the shielding that some cables have - I have used tv coax shielding as soldermop before. Only thing is that for the short length required it may unravel.
Perhaps something out of an audio cable or datacable if you have any.
Soldermop/solderwick is usually impregnated with flux so perhaps need to try and clean that before using for this?

That might be even better. Flux indeed does not conduct well.
