Eden Park Illumination is commercializing a novel source of lighting innovation based on Microcavity Plasma (or “microplasma”) technology. Eden Park’s lighting technology offers unique advantages over both traditional light sources, such as incandescent and fluorescent, and newer lighting technologies light emitting diodes and organic light emitting diodes. Microplasma lamps are mercury-free flat panel microcavity discharge devices that, by virtue of their unique structure, offer an ultrathin, lightweight, flexible, energy efficient and long-lasting lighting solution.
