due to the Covid19 pandemic, we will not be re-opening. Thanks for your
interest and support
InduLux
Technologies offers you a selection of papers on Magnetic Induction Lighting
technology, also called Induction Lamps or Induction Lights, is currently
one of the longest lifespan types of lighting available!
While this
technology has been surpassed in energy efficiency by LED lighting, there are
still applications where Induction lighting is useful.
The papers in our
library provide information and education on various aspects of Induction
Lights.

What Light Do Plants Need?
This is an example of a paper we were commissioned
to produce for EconoLux Industries, about plant/grow lighting and the spectrum needs
of plants grown under artificial lighting.
Agricultural (or Horticultural) lighting (grow
lights), are widely used in greenhouses, or indoor controlled environments such
is 'vertical farms' with
no natural daylight; to either replace, or augment, natural sunlight (daylight)
in the growing of many different types of crops. These crops can include,
peppers, tomatoes, leafy greens, herbs, flowers or medicinal plants.
In many cases, the most popular type of lights used are HID (Metal Halide
or High Pressure Sodium) lamps. These lamps are generally deficient in spectrum
of the light delivered to the plants, and the electrical energy needed to
operate the plant/grow-lights is a significant amount of the input cost involved
in the production of the crops (compared to properly designed LED grow-lights).
This paper discusses the various curves used to quantify the light spectrum,
especially the McCree curve, that
is most desirable for plant cultivation.

The Science Behind Magnetic Induction Lighting - By: Michael Roberts |
|
The Science Behind Magnetic Induction Lighting
This 28 page paper (PDF) 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, etc.
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 (and
LED lights) can
fulfill those needs in an energy efficient manner. A brief overview of
environmental issues shows that Induction lighting is a green lighting
technology which can help reduce CO2
emissions thereby helping to reduce global warming.
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 in this publication.

How Magnetic Induction Lamps Work
This 8 page paper (PDF) provides an introduction to Induction Lamps with a brief overview of a
history of lighting, and a section detailing how some common conventional lamps work.
Extensive information, with diagrams, on how both external inductor and
internal magnetic induction lamps operate is provided, so that the reader will become
familiar with the inner working of induction lamps.
There are some example induction lamp applications, and a summary
section providing the advantages of induction lamps. Graphs, charts and
photographs give the reader added insight into the technology.

Environmental Aspects Of Magnetic Induction Lamps - By: Michael Roberts |
|
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 Mercury consumption, and improving
recycling issues.
Reducing the environmental impact and "carbon footprint" of your
operations may be more feasible and financially viable 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.

Lamp Technology Application Guidelines - By: Michael Roberts |
|
Induction Lamp Technology Application Guidelines
In light of many
questions regarding the merits of internal inductor lamps Vs. external inductor
lamps, 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.

Induction Lighting Case Studies -
By: InduLux Technologies |

Induction Lighting Case Study:
Industrial Materials Preparation Area
A composite
materials and structures fabrication company, is located in an older
industrial warehouse, with high ceilings. The pre-production area,
where materials are measured and cut, was poorly lit by old mercury vapour
(MV) High-bay fixtures.
The 12 inefficient MV High-bay fixtures were replaced with 15
Magnetic Induction Lamp based High-bay 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 when adjusted for S/P Ratio, the new lighting produced 417.4 VEL - about a
300% increase in VEL!
This 6 page case study provided
diagrams, detailed light measurements and before and after comparisons of
energy consumption and light levels.

Induction Lighting Case Study:
Retail Store Lighting
A small custom embroidered gift store, was
poorly lit with recessed fluorescent troffer fixtures. Staff complained they were
having problems seeing fine needlework and matching colours. The
fluorescent 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.
