ELECTRODELESS FLUORESCENT LAMP

摘要

An electrodeless fluorescent lamp comprises a sealed lamp vessel (G) containing a luminescent layer (P) and a fill capable of sustaining a discharge when suitably excited by an electric field. A coating (FTO) of electrically conductive light transparent material is provided on the external surface of the vessel to confine the electric field within the vessel (G). The conductive coating (FTO) is covered with a transparent insulative layer (2) and is electrically connected to a mains decoupling capacitor for electrical safety and to reduce conducted interference. Preferably the layer 2 is a silicone sheath.
