Awesome LIGHT!! I want one!
"The sulfur lamp is an efficient, powerful, bright, full spectrum light
source that has many different indoor and outdoor uses. Each bulb contains a
small amount of sulfur and inert argon gas. When the sulfur is bombarded by
focused microwave energy it forms a plasma that glows very brightly,
producing light very similar to sunlight. Because there are no filaments or
other metal components to break down, the bulb may never need replacement.
Only the magnetron needs changing!
The Sulfur Lamp is:
Full Spectrum, like the sun
Very Stable, both in color and brightness
Very low UV and minimal IR / heat in beam
Very Efficient, the most efficient source available
Long-lived, with minimal service requirements
Environmentally safe, just sulfur and argon
Quick to start, 100% in 25 seconds
Operable in any position
Dimmable to 30%, and maintains color
Very consistent in performance, from unit to unit "

Hi! Ken: I have one of the "FUSION" microwave lamps that bombard a
sulpher sphere with RF to generate a very brilliant white light.
FUSION lighting company is producing these very high output lamps to
light large buildings,stadiums and parking areas. They produce far
more lumens of light output for the energy consumed that any other
type of lamp known. ??????? Go to Fusion Industries on a web
search and you can read about their lamps. Norm
