Plasma light sources can at present fulfill all the demands of general lighting with high efficiency. A further increase of the luminous efficacy and a high flexibility concerning the color temperature with simultaneous substitution of mercury as a filling substance ‐ these are possible options. Solid‐state light sources will only start to seriously compete with certain groups of plasma lamps some years from now.
