Abstract

An electrodeless discharge lamp having a sealed elongated toroidal envelope containing an ionizable medium with means for inducing ionization of the medium including a radio frequency energy supply coil formed by coating a transparent conductive material on the envelope. The coil is mounted to reduce the stray radio frequency field and the torroidal envelope is formed to allow for convection cooling of the lamp.
