How Induction Lamp works?
The high frequency electrode-less discharge lamp uses the principle of electromagnetism and is made up of 3 parts:
- the globe
- the coupler
- the high frequency power supply generator
The HF power supply generator creates a 2.65MHz high frequency positive power which is introduced to the globe via the coupler. Plasma forms within the globe and radiates at a wavelength of 254nm, simultaneously emission of UV light excites the phosphors within the globe causing almost instantaneous light.
Induction lighting Features:
-
Long life and low degradation

- Lumen efficacy≧70 Lm/w; power factor≧0.98
- 200W induction lamp≈400W metal halide
-
High color rendering
- CRI: ≧80, assists in preservation of original colors
- Non- flicker, low glare
- Less eye strain & fatigue
-
Instant start, no warm up require
- Re-strike time≦0.5s
-
Environmentally Friendly
- Great reduction of carbon emission
- Only 3mg of solid mercury used and safely isolated in a capsule
- The lamp is 100% recyclable
