Apparatus for generating light utilizing the principle of electrostatic induction between two relatively moving dielectric materials of opposite polarity. A first hollow member is filled with an ionizable gas and includes at least one electrode supported in close proximity to the inner surface of the member. A second member formed of a dielectric material of opposite polarity partially surrounds the first member in close proximity thereto. The two members are moved relative to one another and the consequent electrostatic induction ionizes the gas within the first member.
