  1. This form of tube illumination will require a different way of fixing to a bracket socket.

    Also the electrode will block half the light for the tube in this configuration, especially in situations where it would be more efficient for a tube to shine electricity 270 degrees arc (down and sideways) as is commonly used in tube lighting in offices and worksites. It also restricts how the tube can be rotated when fixed.

    You can check out the LED tube lighting which is very similar to mercury vapor lamps but does not require a capacitor.

    1. Yes, it will require a different way of fixing to a bracket.

      Yes, electrodes must be on sides, for the horizontal working position, to allow the light downward (on the worksite), and upward to the mirror (if a fixture is used).

      However, it is nowadays not in discussion for general lighting, but for research and special applications.

      It needs not necessary to be rotated like a fluorescent tube, in this case.

    2. Yes, you are right, there are on the market either tubes or ED bulbs for replacement of fluorescent tubes or HID bulbs.

    3. The 'Transverse Discharge Tube with Longitudinal Electrodes' is at the basis of 'The Autogenous Pulsed Abnormal Glow Discharge (PAGD)':
