AgentHalogen_87, Tuopeek - Good guess about the floating HF HV power supply (~30 kHz to be exact), this is what I use indeed. So, it is correct to say that the lamp runs on two-phase live, but this is not crucial to the way this discharge operates, it could also run properly on a ground/neutral-and-phase circuit.

Tuopeek - I don't exactly know the nature of the sodium compound used here either, it could be oxides, carbonates, etc. All I can say is that this was introduced as a by-product of something else. As for the release mechanism of sodium, something important is missing here indeed.
