Innovative, Energy-Saving Lighting
Induction by
Induction lamps are one of the newest energy-saving lighting technologies developed in recent years. Induction lighting is based on a technology that is fundamentally different from that of traditional lighting products, e.g., fluorescent or high-intensity discharge (HID). With no filaments and electrodes to burn out, these unique lamps can last up to 100,000 hours, making themvirtually maintenance free!

How it WorksThe Principle
IC Chip
Electromagnetic transformers consisting of ferrite rings with metal coils, create an electromagnetic field around a gas-filled glass tube, using a high frequency that is generated by an electronic ballast. The discharge path, induced by the coils, forms a closed loop causing acceleration of free electrons, which collide with mercury atoms and excite the electrons. As the excited electrons from these atoms fall back from this higher energy state to a lower stable level, they emit ultraviolet radiation. The UV radiation created is converted to visible light as it passes through a phosphor coating on the surface of the tube. The shape of the induction lamp maximizes the efficiency of the fields that are generated.
The ballast generates the high frequency current that drives the inductively coupled discharge. The ballast contains an integrated circuit (IC) chip, which controls the operating frequency and allows the electrodeless fluorescent lamp to work properly with a ballast power factor of up to .99 for lower power consumption. This control feature is especially beneficial where fluctuations in the power supply are more than 10% of rated voltage. The ballast also meets EMC requirements, and the circuit board is designed for dust, humidity, and corrosion resistance.

FAQ’s
Q. Do induction lamps need a dedicated fixture?A. Yes. Due to operating and thermal requirements, the system needs to
be installed in a suitable fixture.
Q. Can the system be used for a “flashing beacon”?A. The system is recommended for use in long burning applications.
Constant on and off switching reduces the system life.
Q. Is the induction lamp system vibration-resistant?A. Yes, the fact that induction lamps have no electrodes makes them more
reliable in high-vibration applications. The induction system has proven its durability in bridges, tunnels, and signage applications.
Q. Why is Induction lighting technology worth more?A. Induction lighting systems offer five to ten times the life of HID
systems. In most cases the payback in maintenance savings will more than offset the additional cost of the initial system.
