Plasma Lights Could be the Future | Geekosystem →
A group of engineers are hoping to bring a new light bulb to market that could make existing forms of illumination look like tired, worthless crap. Oh, and it’s super thin, cheap to make, and highly efficient. It also has the added advantage of using plasma to generate light, making it extremely brag-worthy.
