At one end, beam radio waves down your "waveguide" which activates the gas mixture, causing it to glow in visible. Conversion from RF to light is very high, and produces very intense light. You might even need to wear sunglasses when out to pick squash and beans.
Quick Military story.

I used to work on aircraft radar and fire control.
During base exercises in North Bay, when working in the lab at night, we would often selectively turn on lights in the headquarters building across the street using the lab radar system mounted in our test bed. We had the MP's running all night

This and other stories available in our pamphlet "How to entertain yourself on a 72 hour exercise".

PS: we also had florescent bulbs inside of a sign we placed in front of an aircraft we were testing. If you turned on the Radar, the sigh would light up warning people of radiation hazard. NO power required

Re: Space Voyage #1

This is going to be great! We will have all these bigshots showing up expecting this very formal and scientifically balanced meal with Tang to wash everything down, and we are going to deliver a Sout African Octoberfest! That is exactly the attitude I was looking for from this crew. Well done!! These folks will show up, be completely suprised, and have the time of their lives. I will be the dedicated driver. We have a couple of weeks to sober up before launch.

Keep up the good work!

Bill

Re: Space Voyage #1

We're gonna tool around the inner solar system for a bit, then head on out to Jupiter and Saturn, we're we'll all be murdered by our rouge AI. But not before we ascend to a higher plane of existence and return to earth as glowing blue space babies.

Any other questions?
