The Science Behind Magnetic Induction
Lighting
This 30 page paper (available as a PDF
file) gives a comprehensive overview of Magnetic Induction Lighting, how it
works, a discussion of human vision, detailed information on S/P ratios and Visually
Effective Lumens (VEL), the psychological effects of light, ballast efficiency
and more. There are numerous citations and quotes from scientific papers
which show that current lighting measurements do not accurately reflect the
needs of human vision and how Induction Lamps can fulfill those needs in an
energy efficient manner. A brief overview of envirnmental issues shows
that Induction lighting is a green lighting technology which can help reduce
CO2
emissions thereby helping to reduce global warming.
There is a summary
section listing the advantages of magnetic induction lamp technology and the
paper includes many graphs, charts and photographs to give the reader added insight into
Magnetic Induction Lighting technology.
References are
included for those who wish to follow up on the original papers cited.

How Magnetic Induction Lamps Work
This 8 page paper (available as a PDF
file) provides an introduction to Induction Lamps with a brief overview of a
history of lighting, and a section detailing how some common lamps work.
Extensive information, with diagrams, on how both external inductor and
internal magnetic induction lamps is provided so that the reader will become familiar
with the inner working of induction lights.
There is a section covering LED lamps Vs. Induction lamps and a summary
section providing the advantages of induction lamps. Graphs, charts and photographs
give the reader added insight into the technology. References are
included for those who wish to follow up on the subject.

Environmental
Aspects of Magnetic Induction Lamps
In
an time when there is growing concern about Global Warming and Climate Change,
and a desire to reduce our environmental footprint, individuals and business
are seeking ways to reduce their environmental impact… to “Go Green”.
This 16 page paper, with many illustrations and tables, considers
energy efficient lighting, particularly Magnetic Induction Lamps, as a way to
implement an environmentally friendly technology. Induction Lamps are a
green lighting technology that can
reduce environmental impact in several areas such as saving energy, reducing
CO2
(greenhouse gas) emissions, reducing global warming (climate change), reducing materials consumption, reducing Mercury consumption,
and improving recycling issues.
Reducing the environmental impact and “carbon footprint” of your
operations may be more feasible when implemented as a series of small
incremental steps rather than as a large project. One of the often
overlooked areas, where it is both simple and financially feasible to make
improvements, is in green lighting systems. Magnetic Induction Lighting is one of
the most environmentally friendly options available today for commercial and
industrial applications.

Magnetic Induction Lights
Vs. LED Lights
By
now, it is evident that we are facing an energy problem - while our primary
sources of energy are running out, the demand for energy is continuously
increasing. In the face of this situation, energy-efficient lighting
systems have become a hot topic. Energy for lighting can consume between
60% (in educational settings) and 31% (in retail store applications) of an
organizations electricity budget.
As the cost of energy rises, people are seeking ways in which to reduce
energy consumption. The main reason is financial, but the spectre of
Global Warming (climate change) and respect for the environment by reducing
CO2
emissions, also plays a role.
The two leading contenders for energy efficient industrial and
commercial lighting applications are Magnetic Induction Lamps (also called
Induction Lights) and Light Emitting Diodes (LED) lighting. This paper
compares the current state of these two lighting technologies and
demonstrates, scientifically, that Induction Lighting is the best, and most
energy efficient choice, for a wide range of applications.

Induction Lamp Technology
Application Guidelines
In light of
many questions regarding the merits of internal inductor lamps Vs. external
inductor lamps, the high frequency and the low frequency ballasts available to
drive them, RFI (Radio Frequency Interference) and various lamp colour temperatures (Kelvin); it is
sometimes confusing to determine which of these is the right choice for a
particular induction lighting application.
This 8 page guide attempts to summarize the pros and cons of each
induction lighting technology, in a
simplified manner, so as to provide some general guidance for selecting the
best induction lighting technology for your application.

Lighting Case Studies |

Industrial
Materials Preparation Area Lighting - Case Study
A composite
materials and structures fabrication company was located in an older
industrial warehouse, with high ceilings. The pre-production area, where
materials are measured and cut, was poorly lit by mercury vapour Highbay
fixtures.
The 12 inefficient Mercury Vapour fixtures were replaced with 15
Magnetic Induction Lamp based Highbay fixtures and the incandescent security lights
were also replaced with low-wattage Induction Lamps.
In summary, electrical load was
reduced from 4,100W to 3,168W - about a 22% energy savings; Average
light levels were improved from 130.3 to 257.5 Lux - about 98% brighter;
and adjusted for S/P Ratio, the new lighting produced 417.4 VEL - about a
300% increase in VEL!
This 5 page case study provided
diagrams, detailed light measurements and before and after comparisons of
energy consumption and light levels.

Retail Store Induction Lighting - Case study
A small
custom embroidered gift store, was poorly lit with fluorescent troffer fixtures.
Staff complained they were having problems seeing fine needlework and matching
colours. The fluorescent troffer fixtures were disabled and new Magnetic
Induction lamp Low-bay fixtures with prismatic shades were installed.
Improved placement of the induction lamp fixtures eliminated operator shadows at
the sewing machines. Incandescent halogen track-lights were replaced with
LED lamps.
In summary, the new magnetic induction fixtures and LED lamps provide
much smoother, glare free lighting, at higher light levels, with improved colour
rendering and significant energy savings. Electrical load was reduced from
1,150 W to 717 W - more than a 37% energy savings; Average light levels were
improved from 365.8 to 595.5 Lux - more than 55% brighter!
This
8 page case study provided
diagrams, detailed light measurements and before and after comparisons of
energy consumption and light levels.
