The Induction Light Bulb
“One of the best kept secrets in energy efficient
lighting.” -- U.S. Department
of Energy
Induction is a high efficiency, low maintenance, long term, high quality lighting solution.
Invented in 1890s by Nikola Tesla
Brief History
e-e-
HgHg
Step 1The electronic ballast excites the inductor
creating a magnetic field within the induction bulb
Step 2The magnetic field
accelerates free electrons (e-) causing them to collide
with Mercury (Hg) atoms

Visible Light
Step 3The collision causes
electrons of the Mercury atoms to become excited and jump to higher energy
levels
Step 4As the electrons become
stable again, they emit UV light which is up-converted to visible light by the bulb’s
phosphorous coating.

Advantages of Induction
• Induction requires less wattage to output the same amount of light.
• Reduces energy consumption at the source by 50-90%.
• Low heat gain will result in a 1/3 reduction in HVAC costs for indoor applications.
