Systems and methods for high brightness, improved phase characteristics laser diodes. The at least one lighting device includes at least one lighting source, and an internal power source applying a first electrical current to illuminate the at least one lighting element, wherein the internal power source supplies the first electrical current. Also enclosed in the ion air blower housing is a fan that is used to force air over the ionizing pins. The emitter turn-off thyristor has four control electrodes: the gate of the GTO thyristor, the control electrode of the second switch, the gate of the first switch, and the cathode of the GTO thyristor.
