The features of a good lamp

1.   Energy Saving of 50%-90%

As the electrodeless induction lamp generates light via electromagnetic induction with the help of electronic ballast and microchip IC control, they offer beneficial features such as high luminous efficacy and high power factor, ect.

2.   Extreme long life

Electrodeless induction lamps have a useful working life of up to 100,000 hours because they do not have electrodes of filaments that easily burn out or get damaged. The long life of induction lamps is 100 times than that of an ordinary tungsten filament lamp.

3.   Instant-Start capability

Unlike other HID lighting technologies, induction lamps can have the instant-start and hot-start capabilities; they can be turned on within milliseconds.

4.   Glare and flicker-free lighting

The human eye will be able to see light flicker when the working frequency is below 40KHz. Induction lamps have a working frequency of 210KHz so on visible flicker will be detected, and thereby not cause any strains to the eyes.

5.   Superior lights

Light generated by induction lamps is similar to fluorescent light with a broad color spectrum.

6.   Good color reproduction

As well as providing a bright environment, a good lighting system should also provide a vibrant and vivid-looking environment. Induction lamp’s high color rendering index (CRI>80Ra) will allow users to see the true object in its full glory.

7.   Minimal electromagnetic interference

Low-frequency induction lamps operate at a low frequency of 300KHz, and are fitted with specially designed metallic structural shielding and anti-interference electronic circuitry. Hence their EMC and EMI characteristics all comply to recognized international standards.

8.   Low operating costs

Induction lamps generate little heat in comparison to other lighting technologies, so it will not raise the room temperature much and thereby lowering the air-conditioning workload and its associated costs.

Induction lamp has extremely long life that will greatly lower the overall cost of maintenance (including replacement material and labor costs).

Induction lamp’s high luminous efficacy means that less electricity is required to generate the same light levels when compared to other lighting technologies, and thereby reducing the electricity running cost.

9.   Environmentally friendly

Induction lamps are made with amalgam so it can be recycled. In contrast, traditional lighting technologies use liquid mercury as one of its raw materials, which is difficult to recycle and can easily pollute the environment. Also the longevity of induction lamps will result in less solid waste in comparison to other lighting technologies.
