    RF light sources follow the same principles of converting electrical power into visible radiation as conventional gas discharge lamps. The fundamental difference between RF lamps and conventional lamps is that RF lamps operate without electrodes .the presence of electrodes in conventional florescent and High Intensity Discharge lamps has put many restrictions on lamp design and performance and is a major factor limiting lamp life. Recent progress in semiconductor power switching electronics, which is revolutionizing many factors of the electrical industry, and a better understanding of RF plasma characteristics, making it possible to drive lamps at high frequencies.

    INTRODUCTION

    Converting electrical power into visible radiation No electrodes

    RF PLASMA
    Collection of uncharged molecules
    Consists of equal number of positive and negative charges

    RF LIGHTING
    RF lamps appeared about 100 years ago
    DISCHARGE TUBES:

    Glass tube with electrodes at each end

    DISCHARGE TYPES
    CAPACITIVE DISCHARGE:

    Sheath impedance controls the discharge current of capacitive RF discharge

    Power P is proportional to wVrf

    INDUCTIVE DISCHARGE

    Operates Power

    over wide range of gas pressure

    transfer efficiency=(Pp/(Pp + Pc))

    WAVE-SUSTAINED DISCHARGES

    Wave length is comparable to plasma size

    Maintained by electro magnetic waves

    CHOICE OF FREQUENCY AND DISCHARGE TYPE


    The frequency range between 2.2-3.0MHZ has reduced restrictions on EMI For frequencies at a few tens of kilohertz generator efficiency is rather high

    COMMERCIAL RF LIGHT SOURCES


    MICROWAVE POWERED SULPHUR LAMPS:

    Life rating of 15,000 hr Low infrared and ultra violet emission Good color stability

    MICROWAVE GENERATION:

    Electrons are emitted from cathode Anode surrounding the cathode attracts the electrons Electrons take circular path

    SPHERICAL EXTERNAL-COIL INDUCTION LAMP

    Induction coil wrapped around the lamp Screen cage surrounds the lamp to reduce EMI emissions Operates at 27 W Efficiency is 37lm/w

    RE-ENTRANT CAVITY INDUCTION LAMP

    Operating at 2.65 MHZ

    Available in three wattages-55w,85w and 165w


    Shaped standard incandescent lamps

    100,000 hr average rated life

    SELF-BALLASTED RE-ENTRANT CAVITY LAMP

    Lamp power is 23w at 48 lm/w


    Up to 15,000 hours of rated life

    LOW-FREQUENCY EXTENDED-COIL INDUCTION LAMP:

    Consists of pyre x glass tube

    Operating frequency is 250khz


    Minimizes problems associated with EMI

    Ballast design is simpler than RF system at 2.65MHz

    ADVANTAGES
    Absence of electrodes Maintenance is low It has instant and harmless starting Efficiency is high

    Control actions from remote places are easy


    The lamp luminous can be easily controllable

    DISADVANTAGES
    Cost is higher than fluorescent and incandescent lamps With increasing frequency efficiency will decrease

    If the frequency changes there are more problems with EMI More complex design
    Maintenance is not much easy

    FUTURE SCOPE
    Suitable for general lighting within a plant as well as out door areas Economical choice for many plants

    CONCLUSION

    Great opportunity for increased durability, light output and efficiency Removes many of the lamp shape restrictions of conventional electrode discharge lamps
