Abstract
An electrodeless lighting system which is emitting light using microwave generated in a magnetron comprises: a main case including a waveguide through which microwave is transmitted, a resonator coupled to an exit of the waveguide, and a bulb located in the resonator; a subsidiary case including a magnetron generating the microwave, and a high voltage generator for providing the magnetron with high voltage; and a microwave transmission cable connected from the magnetron to the waveguide for transmitting the microwave, whereby the emitting portion can be minimized by separating components which are not really needed for emitting, and lowering of performance and damage of the bulb or the resonator by infiltration of impurities such as dust can be prevented.
