Morphology
The phrase is fully compositional: 'neon' names the gas, 'induction' names the electrical method, and 'lamp' denotes a light source, so the meaning 'a lamp using neon gas lit by induction' is directly derivable from its parts. This follows standard noun-modifier composition and is neither idiomatic nor metaphorical, so a B1 learner who knows the constituent words should understand it.
Etymology
Neon induction lamp: The name neon induction lamp comes from a glass tube filled with neon gas that lights up when invisible electric waves called induction make the gas 'glow' without wires touching it. That's why this lamp lasts longer and gives off less heat than lamps with hot wires.
