I tried a similar setup using that machine of the video as power supply. The pendulum works without problems, but I didn't see any light with LEDs or neon lamps at the pendulum touches. My pendulum was small and with a different geometry, however. It's also difficult to keep well regulated the voltage produced by the machine, and the neon lamps had a tendency to light dimly following the ripple in the voltage. The voltage was higher too, probably around 2 kV.
Antonio, The flash is very faint. I used a 10MM LED for maximum visibility. I have found the clearest results at night. I turned the lights off. The flashes are very apparent in the darkness. The battery voltage a little over 1700.
I use a 4 inch x 1/2 inch .002 thick Tungsten Pendulum.
