An electrodeless excimer UV lamp, comprising an enclosed chamber with a gas sealed within the enclosed chamber, wherein the gas is capable of being used to generate a plasma discharge, a first electrode wrapped around the outer surface of the chamber at a first location, a second electrode wrapped around the outer surface of the chamber at second location, and a power supply configured to apply a voltage to the first electrode and the second electrode. During operation of the UV lamp, a plasma discharge is generated by applying a voltage to the electrodes wrapped around the outer surface of the chamber to ignite the gas or gas mixture inside the chamber and generate a plasma discharge within the chamber, such that a specific wavelength of UV radiation will be generated by the particular gas within the chamber.
