Several electrodeless lamps are currently available on the market. Examples of these are the Philips QL, Osrams Endura and GE's Genura. While these lamps make use of induction as a means of power coupling, the source of their light, namely mercury, remains the same as in older lamps. Another electrodeless configuration is the microwave powered Sulphur Lamp. Sulphur lighting has several advantages over other lamp systems. Firstly, large fluxes (≈100,000 lm) of high quality light are obtained with circuit efficacies of up to 60 percent. Secondly, unlike fluorescent and HID lamps there is no decrease in brightness with time since phospors and electrodes are not needed. Another significant aspect of the sulphur lamp is that it contains no mercury, lessening environmental hazards associated with disposal. In order to simulate the operation of this light source, PLASIMO, a plasma modeling tool which was developed at the Eindhoven University of Technology, was used. Modules were included to describe the transport properties and power in- coupling. Results of the simulations will be shown and compared with experiment.
