Induction Lighting

The basic technology for induction lamps is not particularly new. The principle of Induction was introduced to the world by the scientist Nicola TESLA in the 1800’s.  TESLA once lit 200 lamps without wires from 25 miles away.

Induction lights are similar to fluorescent lights in that they use gasses, which once ‘excited’, react with the phosphor that coats the tubes to produce white light.  Unlike fluorescent lamps, induction systems are rated at 100,000 hours.  This is because fluorescent lamps must use electrodes, which degrade with time, to ‘excite’ the gasses inside of the tube.  Induction Lamps do not use electrodes but instead uses the principle of Induction (the transmission of energy by way of magnetic field).  Think of it as wireless lighting.   See FAQ
Benefits of Induction Lighting
  • Long Life - 100,000 hours
  • Color rendering – 85 CRI
  • Color Temperature – 2,700K-6,500K
