摘要： A plasma lamp includes a capsule with a gas contained within the capsule and an ignition source to ionize the gas to produce a light emitting plasma. The ignition source includes field defining conductors within the capsule and a radio frequency source external to the capsule. The radio frequency source and the field defining conductors are configured so that the field defining conductors will produce electric fields in response to RF energy from the radio frequency source and the electric field ionizes at least a portion of the gas.
