| About | Induction Lighting-How it works Based on these well-known principles, light can be generated via a gas discharge using simple magnetism. Electromagnetic transformers, constructed from rings of metal coils and powered by a high frequency electronic ballast, create an electromagnetic field around a glass tube which contains the gas. The discharge path, induced by the coils, forms a closed loop allowing acceleration of free electrons, which collide with mercury atoms and excite the electrons. As the excited electrons from these atoms fall back from this higher energy level to a lower stable state, they emit ultraviolet radiation. This UV energy is converted to visible light as it passes through a phosphor coating on the surface of the tube. The unusual shape of an induction lamp maximizes the efficiency of the electromagnetic fields that are generated. Although it is not a breakthrough science, until recently, it has not been as commercially viable. New developments have broken down the barriers of costs and technological setbacks, such as EMC interference, lumen depreciation and ability to dim. Today, its obvious benefits make it the clear-cut choice for many lighting applications over more traditional light sources. |
