Electrodeless fluorescent lamp. Final report

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5742500

The purpose of the research was to develop, test, and deliver ten prototype energy-efficient light bulbs. The Litek lamps, delivered to LBL on September 30, 1981, were electrodeless fluorescent light bulbs which employ a solid-state radio frequency electronic driver to excite a mercury vapor gas discharge which, in turn excites a conventional fluorescent phosphor layer to produce visible light. Information on the design and development of the lamp is briefly summarized. The marketing research plan, including prior marketing research efforts, is discussed. (MCW)
