Wild to see this posted. I worked for the guy that invented this at Sylvania, I have a bunch of photos of the early prototypes. They never figured out how to commercialize it and in the process of trying to manufacturer it in China the manufacturer stole the IP and started making them under their own brand and stole the market. They were called Icetron lamps. I worked in their R&D facilities and domestic manufacturing sites in the early 2000s.
