Plasma Light Bulb

Here is a glimpse of what could be the successor to modern day light bulbs, the Plasma light bulb which puts out nearly 10 times as much light, uses half the power of a traditional light bulb and can reach temperatures that are equivalent of the surface of the sun.

dude you could grow weed like a motherfucker with this  shit! 140 lumens per watt?!??!?! saaayyyy whaaaaaaatttt?!??!?!?!?!?!?

[Shizzmonger]

so it's almost 2012 and this is the first time ive ever heard of these

[iamspuzzum]

140lm/w? So what.. Cree XP-G LEDs give 150lm/w and higher.

@ikarusnu nobody has the answer?

What whould happend if I approach a neodymium magnet to one of these bulbs?

[SuperGrowPlants]

@AishaDracoGryph lol led lighting is the most expensive!

Can "Plasma lighting" be part of Blacklight Power's heat energy?

It appears that our next generation power sources are right around the corner except for the fact America's patent office seems unwilling to let patents for things they don't understand.

Except:

Plasma is recombination, i.e. it is nonthermal. it has nothing whatsoever to do with BB radiation.

I sincerely doubt the plasma here is the surface of the sun really - were it so, the bulb would melt. The mistake might be in the "equivalent" brightness temperature, i.e. pretend it's black body emission, even though it's not.

According to Planck's constant, an obect radiating at 6000K peaks in the visible range and radiades much more visible light than heat. Still hotter obects peak in the ultra violet. Objects around 3000K and below peak in the infa red and radiate more heat than light, which is typical of a standard tungsten filament light bulb.

"and can reach temperatures that are equivalent of the surface of the sun."

ah yes, losing energy as heat instead of light - that sounds like an efficient light bulb - not.

Check out fat-toms.co.uk for the pro 300 lep plasma. Purchased mine from there and having great results. Estimated to last 5-7years at 14 hours a day
