| Induction lights are similar to fluorescent lights in that they use gasses, which once 'excited', react with the phosphor that coats the tubes to produce white light. Unlike fluorescent lamps, induction systems are rated at 100,000 hours. This is because fluorescent lamps must use electrodes, which degrade with time, to 'excite' the gasses inside of the tube. Induction Lamps do not use electrodes but instead uses the principle of Induction (the transmission of energy by way of magnetic field). Think of it as wireless lighting. |
