Induction Lighting: “Bringing the Future to Light” October 24,2008
Agenda • What is “Induction Lighting”? • Sustainability / Industry Trends. • Benefits of Induction Technology • Typical Lamp life and Maintenance. • Applications. • Current Installations. • Q&A.
What is “Induction Lighting”? • Essentially a fluorescent lamp without electrodes or filaments. • Rings with magnetic coils create an electro magnetic field using a high frequency generated by the electronic ballast. • This field goes around the glass filled tube. • Electrons discharged by the magnetic coils collide with mercury atoms inside the tube and become excited. • These electrons give off energy in the form of invisible UV light. • The conversion to visible light occurs when it passes through a phosphor coating on the inside surface of the tube. • The lamp therefore relies on the fundamental principles of gas discharge and electromagnetic “induction” to produce light. • As a result the lamp offers an unmatched life span. They can last longer than 100 incandescent bulbs, 5 HID, or 5 typical fluorescent lamp changes.
Sustainability / Industry Trends • Improved Lighting Standards • Decreased Energy Costs • Government rebate and energy efficiency incentives • Longer lasting lamps, reduced operational and maintenance costs • Reduction in mercury based products to the landfill sites • Increased awareness with regards environmental initiatives • Ability to be more flexible with infrastructure lighting
Benefits of Induction Lighting • Replaces old lighting technology/reduces energy costs/increases operational profits: • Lighting is a major component of these energy costs, and in general represents 35% of a typical buildings total energy consumption • Energy costs represent 40% of a typical buildings annual budget, as such; they are the single largest component of operating costs • Provides higher quality light using less energy, resulting in a significant reduction in operating costs – lamps are 98% efficient – no heat loss or heat generated. HVAC cost reduction • 100,000 hour/5 year warranty eliminates current re-lamping and maintenance costs • Increasing Safety and Security – instant on and re-strike – no flicker-no hum • Increasing productivity with superior lighting • Improved environmental position - reductions in greenhouse gas emissions, eliminates dangerous mercury vapour, . Less demand for power on local utilities reduces electrical power generation
Typical Lamp Life and Maintenance Lumen Maintenance
Typical Applications • Arenas, swimming pools and Gymnasiums • Tennis courts, common areas, walkways • Street lighting, parking lots, garages, building wall exteriors • Railway stations, airports, bus stations • Tunnels, bridges • Retail stores, entranceways, security lighting • Street signs, billboards • High Bay lighting for warehouses and manufacturing facilities
250 watt HPS lamps on left, 120 watt induction lamps on right using 50%+ less energy
Sonora Community Centre , Osoyoos, BC Before After • 400 watt MH lamps on left, replaced with 200 watt induction lamps using 54% less energy
Whole Foods Grocery Induction Metal Halide
Island Savings Centre, Duncan, BC 3 yr old induction lights…no shadows and no dark spots.. • 400 watt and 1,000 watt MH, replaced by 250 watt induction lamps
