can you 'shine' candoluminescent materials coated on metals with induction?

So we all know of the simple mantle lamp, like using Yttrium.

Typically I guess they coat the mesh with its oxide and heat it with a flame. As pointless as it is, can you use induction or microwaves to heat some kind of susceptible matrix to turn it into a light source?

There's sulphur lamps...

No, it seems to be a radical catalysis process.

You can certainly bulk-heat things, as above.

coppercone2:
It's not direct conversion of heat into light? It is a chemical reaction with the plasma?

So you need a carbon laiden flame? (hydrogen wont work then, if you wanna be green or something)

Is this the stuff that glows when you're in the woods on a new moon and its pitch black?
