Abstract: An electrodeless lamp comprises an envelope (12) containing a plasma forming fill which includes at least one of sulfur and selenium when excited which emits principally visible light, which is in the form of molecular radiation. The envelope (12) has a diameter of less than one half inch. Means (1) are provided for generating electromagnetic energy. Further means (2, 3, 4, 5, 6) are provided for coupling said electromagnetic energy to said envelope to excite said fill, which in the absence of envelope rotation or with rotation at an insufficient speed, forms a discharge (14) which does not substantially fill the interior volume of said envelope (12). By additional means (13) the envelope (12) is rotated at a fast enough rate so as to cause the discharge (15) formed by the fill to substantially fill the interior volume of the envelope (12).

Abstract: An electrodeless lamp bulb (12) is rotated at sufficient rate to obviate isolated discharges. A coaxially excited electrodeless lamp bulb (12) is rotated in such manner that different regions of the bulb are near the high field region caused by the inner coaxial conductor, thus preventing are attachment from occurring. An electrodeless lamp bulb (12) is rotated at a high speed sufficient to improve lamp efficiency and reduce cooling requirement. An electrodeless lamp bulb (12) is provided with wall of reduced thickness at the area of the bulb (12) where it is desired to condense the fill upon turning off the power, thus providing for quicker starting.
