what is induction lighting? BY AMERICAN GREENPOWER

By using electromagnetic fields, induction lamps are able to produce more visible light than traditional lighting sources while reducing power consumption up to 50%. Also, because there are no filaments or electrodes to burn out, induction lamps last about 5 times longer than High Pressure Sodium and Metal Halide bulbs!

longer lifespan By eliminating the use of electrodes and traditional filaments, which typically burn out and cause lamps to fail, we are able to drastically increase the rated life of our induction bulbs. With a rated life of up to 100,000 hours, our induction lamps will help you save money by greatly reducing both replacement and labor costs! 1-2 8-10 10-20 10-24 14-18 6-20 30-50 80-100

improved efficacy Due to advances in technology, induction lights are far more efficient than traditional lighting sources. Our electronic ballasts generate power at up to .99x conversion rate. This means that up to 99% of electrical energy is converted to visible light and less energy is lost as heat. As a result, our induction lamps produce much brighter light, far less heat, and consume half of the energy used by traditional lightbulbs!

how does induction work?

Magnetic induction lamps are similar to traditional fluorescent lamps, however, instead of using electrodes that burn out, induction lamps use electromagnets to produce free electrons. Free electrons generated by the electromagnetic field collide with mercury atoms provided by a pellet of solid mercury to produce UV light photons. Once UV light is produced, it is converted to visible light by reacting to the phosphor coating on the inside of the tube.
