Induction lighting Leamy Electric Inc

This is an installation for a 150w induction bulb/fixture in Philadelphia, PA.
An induction light is similar to a fluorescent light in that mercury in a gas fill inside the bulb is excited, emitting UV radiation that in turn is converted into visible white light by the phosphor coating on the bulb. Like fluorescent, the phosphor coating determines the color qualities of the light. Fluorescent lamps use electrodes to strike the arc and initiate the flow of current through the lamp, which excites the gas fill. Each time voltage is supplied by the ballast and the arc is struck, the electrodes degrade a little, eventually causing the lamp to fail. Induction lamps do not use electrodes. Instead of a ballast, the system uses a high-frequency generator with a power coupler. The generator produces a radio frequency magnetic field to excite gas fill. With no electrodes, the lamp lasts longer. Induction lamps, in fact, last up to 100,000 hours, with the lamp producing 70% of its light output at 60,000 hours. In other words, their rated life is 5-13 times longer than metal halide (7,500 to 20,000 hours at 10 hours/start) and about seven times longer than T12HO fluorescent (at 10 hours/start).

Have you tried external LED for these?

[leamyelectricinc1]

@Fearlessthinker What do you mean by "external LED's?

[leamyelectricinc1]

@leamyelectricinc1 If you are referring to it being rated for outdoor use, it is.

intresting first time i seen one of these. you learn something new every day. so what i would like to know is what is the cost of one of these. i would imagine its price but well worth it. due to maintanance and the energy you save.and not having to rent one of those lift so often. O never mind i just heard you say the price. still its worth it when you consider what you save on energy and on renting the lift more often.and the worker
