Compact electrodeless fluorescent lamp with improved cooling

An electrodeless compact flourescent lamp for use in a lighting fixture, the lamp comprising:

• a bulbous transparent envelope with a reentrant cavity provided in this envelope;
• an inert gas and vaporizable metal provided in the envelope;
• a phosphor coating on the inner surface of walls of the envelope;
• an enclosure secured between the envelope and a lamp holder engagement structure;
• induction coil positioned in the reentrant cavity, the coil for forming a plasma in the envelope to produce ultraviolet radiation to excite the phosphor coating, the phosphor coating generating visible light under such excitation;
• a magnetic field manipulation structure of a magnetically permeable material positioned adjacent the induction coil and having a cross section along a plane parallel to that of the shunting surface that has a toroidal shape to fit within the induction coil with an extended disk-shaped base so as to be positioned between the induction coil and the primary cooling structure, the disk-shaped base having at least in part a shunting surface ending at a shunting surface periphery, said magnetic field manipulation structure concentrating and orienting a magnetic field;
• and
• a primary cooling structure of a thermally and electrically conductive material having a plate portion, and having a tube portion positioned adjacent to the magnetic field manipulation structure to be separated thereby from the induction coil, the plate portion extending so as to be substantially within the shunting surface periphery.
