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.
