Let there be light

It's not the blinding light generated by this new bulb that's so revolutionary; it's that a streetlight's worth of illumination comes from a bulb the size of a Tic Tac.

The side-by-side comparison with the standard bulb is amusing, with the tiny bulb seemingly lost in the middle of the huge weatherproof housing.

According to the video, the plasma inside the pint-sized lamp is the same temperature as the surface of the Sun, making it the hottest Tic Tac known to Mankind.
