How Does a Plasma Light Bulb Work:



Electricity:

• Electrical energy is delivered to a puck that sits around a plasma light bulb. Inside the puck is a power amplifier circuit that is made of a feedback antenna, an input antenna and an amplifier. As electrical energy is delivered to the puck, the amplifier circuit makes an electrical field form around the bulb

Radio Frequency Signal:

• The amplifier in the amplifier feedback circuit creates a radio frequency signal. This signal is guided into the electrical field around the bulb

Argon Ionized into Plasma:

• The electrical field around the bulb has so much energy that the atoms of the contents of the bulb (argon and salt) become excited. The electrons of the atoms jump up an energy level, and the atoms of gas become ionized into plasma. As the electrons come down an energy level, the extra energy they held is given off as photons (light). The ionization of the gas is proved by the presence of light with a purple color

Salt Vaporized:

• The plasma within the bulb is filled with electrons that constantly collide with the salt atoms inside of the bulb. The energy from these collisions excites the salt atoms and the salt vaporizes. This part of the process is observable by photons (light) that radiate a blue hue

Mixing for White Light:

• The vaporized salt mixes with the plasma formed from the argon gas. Once again, electrons collide and give off energy in the form of light. At this final step, the light produced is white and is very bright. This pure, white light is the desired color of a plasma bulb

More Info:

• Plasma bulbs produce twice as much light as the best LEDs on the market. They are more efficient and use less energy to produce the same amount of lumens as LEDs and don't contain any electrodes. They are being hailed as the lights of the future and are being examined for use in street lamps and, if produced to emit household light levels, regular lighting fixtures for the average consumer. The only real down side to plasma bulbs is that their production is still very expensive. Due to cost, LEDs are still the best light that is readily available. As technology improves, however, as with any product, the cost of plasma bulbs will drop to a reasonable rate

How to Fix a Broken Plasma Ball:

To repair a broken plasma ball, also known as a plasma globe or light, nebula spheres or lightning balls, requires an understanding of how they work. In brief, electricity is used to heat pressurized and ionized gases. The heated gases create a colorful light show and a static charge. When the globe is cracked, the gases escape, and there goes the light show. Though most store-bought plasma balls are inexpensive to replace, you can replace the globe and gases and reuse the electronics

• Remove the broken globe. Make sure the base area is smooth. Sand if necessary
• Install the aquarium tubing through the base. The tubing is your means of evacuating the globe and introducing the gas
• Epoxy the new globe in place. Let dry thoroughly or risk globe damage when you vacuum out all the air
• Attach the tubing to the vacuum pump. Remove the air in the globe
• Replace the air with your chosen gas or gas mix. The type of gas or gases you use determine the colors and patterns the plasma ball makes. Begin with a small amount of gas. If you don't see the finished results you are after, you can always add more gas. If you want a blue or purple display, use helium or nitrogen. Neon gives off red or orange colors. Xenon provides gray or lavender light. Krypton can display a variety of colors, depending on the amount of pressure it is under
