An electrodeless discharge lamp with one or more stationary light emitting bulbs inside a common conductive shield to confine an electromagnetic excitation field provided by a plurality of sources. Each bulb can be excited by several electromagnetic radiation sources or by an individual electromagnetic radiation source. Tubular realization of the lamp, with two magnetron or transistor electromagnetic sources facing each other at the extremity of a tubular bulb, are particularly suitable for installation at the focal line of parabolic trough reflector. Some variants combine bulbs of different compositions, and excitation levels can be independently set to control the spectrum of emitted light.
