Did you try using Corona light + Corona distance shader for opacity? I imagine that might look convincing with two tubes, one larger than the other.

Should be fairly easy with some splines and a light material. Plus some bloom and glare in post.

For reference on how to use the Corona distance shader, please see: https://help.c4d.corona-renderer.com/support/solutions/articles/12000073516
You may want to experiment with it to control the opacity channel in a Corona Light material.
(just a thought)

I don't know about the distance shader, or neon, but I know when I wanted a tube light (light material) recently to look more glowing, when I turned on bloom and glare suddenly it was glowing (some atmosphere around the tube).  As Beanzvision said above.
