An excitation coil, for stimulating a high-intensity-discharge plasma in an electrodeless discharge lamp, has at least one turn of a conductor arranged generally upon the surface of a toroid with a rhomboid or V-shaped cross-section, which is substantially symmetrical about a plane passing through the maxima of the toroid. The major radius of the coil is such that the lamp is insertable into the coil so that the coil induces a co-planar toroid plasma discharge arc in the lamp, when the coil is connected to a radio frequency (RF) power source.
