There was an article on this in New Scientist last year. The idea was 
that one bulb (not neon, but an excitable gas) would be used with the
light distributed around the room by light pipes. This would enable the
microwave energy to be screened and kept away from people. The bulb 
could also be mounted at comfortable height for maintenance. The bulb
its self would run at several (tens even) kW, and was not suitable for
domestic use.
