A plasma lamp is a type of gas discharge lamp that produces light and visual effects by creating an electric arc through a low-pressure gas, typically noble gases such as neon or argon, inside a glass or clear plastic globe. The most well-known design is the plasma globe, which features a central electrode surrounded by a glass sphere filled with gas, and produces colorful, tendril-like patterns of light when a high-frequency voltage is applied.
