Hi,

What do you folks think of this:

Well, they say "more than twice as efficient, but don't give
data.

They say "lasts forever" but do not give data.

I wonder what the life of the magnetron/microwave source is? That always
seems to be the limiting factor.

The life of the Fusion Lighting sulfur lamp system was
always limited by the life of the magnetron. I don't want
to quote an incorrect number, so all I will say is that my
recollection was that the life of the magnetron was
significantly less than 10,000 hours.

Indeed. I always reckoned on 8000hrs with the multiple commercial magnetron
units Fusion used.

They say "no toxics" but do not tell us what is inside.

Thulium, thallium, dysprosium etc......the usual candidates as found in
CDM/HCI/CDM burners?

This lamp may use sulfur. I'll have to check further.

I do hope so. The spectral output of the Fusion lamp was excellent despite
the poor system efficacy..
