It's not going to be there for a LONG time.

I just finished a MUCH improved version of an induction lamp, co-designed with a Siemens engineer.

Higher outputs than T8, less output versus a T5, given equal power consumption.

Just isn't going to happen until the things I specified are possible - waveguides in the glass tube, better diamagnetic materials to keep the EM contained within the area of the bulb.

Have a picture of my new induction lamp - good for veg, garbage for flowering.
