  • Publication number: 20140145592
    Abstract: An induction RF fluorescent light bulb that is able to replace an ordinary incandescent light bulb, both in its ability to screw into a standard incandescent light bulb socket and to have the general look of the ordinary incandescent light bulb, but with all of the advantages of an induction lamp, as described herein. The present disclosure describes structures for an induction RF fluorescent light bulb that includes a bulbous portion, a tapered portion, an electronics portion, and a screw base, creating an external look that is similar to the profile of an ordinary incandescent light bulb.
