People use fluorescent lamps and other types of lighting that uses fluorescent to light their homes, offices, and basically everywhere else. But did you know that there is an invention called induction lighting that is way better than fluorescents? Induction lighting is very different from the fluorescents and incandescent lights in a lot of ways, and as a result has better benefits.
The induction lighting uses induction to generate light, which means that it transmits energy through magnetic field and gas discharge combined. A fluorescent light uses electrodes, and due to that, its lifespan is just short and only about 20,000 hours, simply because electrodes easily burn out. Whereas in induction lighting, since there are no electrodes, it typically lasts up to 100, 000 hours, or approximately 11 years.
This information alone is proof enough that induction lighting is cheaper compared to a fluorescent’s bulb lighting. However, there are more. Aside from the induction lighting being more budget friendly, it is also energy efficient. It may look like it uses a lot of energy because it has an output of about 70 to 400W, but it only uses 85+ lumens per watt. Its color rendering is 85 CRI. Best of all, unlike incandescent and discharge lamps, lights using induction energy do not flicker and produces no noise, which fluorescent lights does whenever it is nearing its end. The flickering of fluorescent light is also another sign that it needs to be changed already, and is quite irritating sometimes.
These reasons make the induction lighting sturdier than the fluorescent lights; therefore it does not need to be changed regularly.

Induction lighting has three main components: lamp bulb or discharge vessel, power coupler, and the HF generator. These parts can be replaced or repaired separately if it is not working. Induction lighting products are not disposable, which is another reason why it is budget friendly. The lamp bulb contains a low pressure insert gas as well as a little amount of mercury. Color temperatures also depend on the type of bulb.The power coupler works by transferring energy from the HF generator to the lamp bulb. The power coupler has an antenna to enable the transferring of energy. The HF generator energizes the antenna of the power coupler by producing 2.65 MHz current for the whole lighting to work.
Currently, there are now a lot of types of induction lamps that are sold on the market. It is now even used in common places that need durable and long lifespan lights such as induction street lighting. If you want maintenance free lighting and budget friendly, induction lighting is perfect for you.
