I would think that mixing the two gasses as a carrier gas and still employing mercury you should be able 
to use the same filling chart. It is my understanding that 90% of the light given off in a HG filled tube is 
from the HG itself. Using an MA Meter should give you some idea of added or decreased resistance in 
the tubes, considering filling pressure stays the same, etc. Then again if the carrier gas has the ability to 
dance faster to the same music more heat will be generated. Hence faster HG distribution throughout the 
tube.

Peace.
