| 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... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sulfur_lamp |
| T3sl4co1l:
No, it seems to be a radical catalysis process. You can certainly bulk-heat things, as above. Tim |
| 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? |
