The PLS (Plasma Lighting System) is a new concept of lighting utilizing the principle of plasma light emission through microwaves. Its core aim is to provide a lighting sensation worldwide, using the new and different technology of the light source. LG Electronics have successfully paved the way to the commercialization of this PLS through their previous accomplishments with microwave-applied technology and persistent research. IndustrialFlood Lighting Lighting About PLS Principle The principle of PLS light emission The PLS is a plasma lighting system wherein a microwave generated from the magnetron is transmitted to the cavity resonator through the waveguide. It forms a strong electric field, which generates electric discharge to the gas and sulfur compound inside the bulb, leading them to the plasmatic state, which continuously emits light. Maintaining this plasmatic state enables the continuous emission of light.

What is Light Emitting Plasma? • AC/ DC power supply: converts incoming line voltage to DC and supplies power to the radio The Light Emitting Plasma system consists of the frequency driver. components listed below. These components are housed within a light fixture (a.k.a. luminaire). The Potential Benefits of Light Emitting Plasma luminaire also includes an optical assembly to distribute the light produced by the lamp. Light Emitting Plasma offers the following advantages over conventional high intensity discharge lamps: • Better reliability: conventional metal halide lamps require electrodes within the arc tube. These electrodes are usually made of tungsten and require a mechanical seal - which can lead to premature lamp failure. As the tungsten degrades, it darkens the walls of the lamp and reduces the light output. • Rapid start: 45 seconds to reach 80% of full brightness LEP System Components Source: LUXIM • Faster re-strike: when the power is turned off to high • Lamp: consists of a very small intensity discharge lamps Source: LUXIM quartz tube (3/4” long), which (e.g.

Qiu1 11Harbin Institute of Technology, 92, West Dazhi Street, Nan Gang District, Harbin, China 2 Kharkiv National University of Radio Electronics, 14, Nauky Ave., 61166, Kharkiv, Ukraine [email protected] Keywords: microwave heating, magnetron, electrodeless sulfur lamp, plasma, microwave excitation 1. Introduction For more than 50 years, interest to the microwave heating technology has not weakened. In addition to the traditional areas of its application, which described in detail in [1], recently there has been an expansion of technological possibilities for the use of microwave energy associated with the impact of electromagnetic waves of the microwave range on various materials (sintering of metal and ceramic powders) and media, including plasma [2]. One such new direction is the creation of high-power and environmentally friendly sources of optical radiation on the basis of the electrodeless sulfur lamp with microwave excitation [2, 3]. As it is known, Michael Ury and his associates at Fusion Systems invented this radically new lamp in 1990, but the lamp was not ideal because of the complexity of its design [4]. Therefore, it was not put into production. However, every year the scientific interest was growing. An analysis of scientific publications shows that every 5 years a new country is joined to this issue. Now more than in 10 countries of all would including USA, Great Britain, South Korea, Netherlands, Germany, Russia, and so on where there are research teams that are carried out an investigation concerning the electrodeless lamps with microwave excitation.

  • New Induction and Plasma Lighting Technologies Proven Superior to LED for Streetlighting and High Lumen Applications
    New Induction and Plasma Lighting Technologies proven Superior to LED for Streetlighting and High Lumen Applications Both Induction lamp and LEP (Light Emitting Plasma) technologies offer significant advantages over LED fixtures for streetlighting and high lumen applications with superior cost savings, longevity and performance Cities and muncipalities across the U.S. are seeking to replace inefficient lighting for streetlighting and public buildings to save energy and reduce operating costs. Similarly, commercial businesses, factories, large retail stores, warehouses, airports, convention centers, and parking facilities are looking to upgrade or replace their lighting systems for energy and maintenance savings. Typically 40% or more of the energy usage for municipalities, businesses and institutions is consumed by lighting. While the popularity of LED lighting increases for many applications, LED is not the best solution when high light levels are needed. Decline of the Realm of HID Lighting For decades, applications requiring high light levels have been the realm of high intensity discharge (HID) lighting fixtures. Street and highway lighting, parking lots, bridges & tunnels, stadiums, transportation facilities and other large outdoor areas are typically illuminated with HID fixtures. Warehouses, factories, parking garages, shopping malls, and high ceiling indoor applications also typically use HID lighting. Generally, high pressure sodium (HPS) lamps are utilized for streetlighting and industrial applications due to their efficiency and 24,000 hour life. But HPS exhibits poor color with a yellowish cast. Metal halide lamps, with whiter color rendering are used for most HID applications, but possess shorter lamp life, usually around 10,000 hours. All HID lamps employ an electrode to ignite gasses contained within the bulb envelope, and require a ballast for start-up and voltage regulation.
