Each bulb is filled with argon gas, which turns to plasma when electricity is focused through it. The energy is driven to the bulb without electrodes. The resulting light is intensely bright and mirrors the quality of light radiated by the sun, yet is produced by one of the smallest, most <A href="http://www.inhabitat.com/2008/04/02/boulder-co-america%e2%80%99s-first-smart-grid-town/" target="new">energy efficient</A> light sources we’ve seen.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.inhabitat.com/2008/04/07/luxim-plasma-light-bulb/"><div align="center"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/www.inhabitat.com/img/EEAEB763-008F-4A66-8FA6-DEDFF51EC177" alt="Luxim, Pill bulb, tiny pill light bulb plasma bulb, halodes, super bright light bulb, eco lighting, green lighting, sustainable lighting, energy efficient lighting, lumen, pill-sized plasma bulb, argon gas, super-bulb, LED, light bulb" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.inhabitat.com/2008/04/07/luxim-plasma-light-bulb/"><P>A substantial portion of energy is converted into light instead of heat, which makes the bulbs highly efficient.
