1. Origins of Induction Lighting * How It Works * Advantages and Disadvantages * Existing Products * Victory Developments * Conclusion

2. History • Idea from Nikola Tesla in late 19th Century • Always huge radio interference problems • Philips solved the problems in 1992 • Price has traditionally been too high • Limited range of luminaires • Victory has addressed both these issues

3. How It Works • They work like Fluorescent • tubes without Electrodes. • Magnetic field is produced • by two transformer coils • This creates an electric • field in the glass tube • Electric field creates a discharge in the tube which radiates light • Works like a transformer – coils are primary, lamp is secondary

4. Technology Disadvantages Advantages • Long Life – 80,000 hours • Sealed for life fittings • High quality white light – • just like triphosphor fluorescent • Instant start & re-strike • Flicker-free high frequency gear • Low operating temperature • High initial cost • Electromagnetic interference • Difficult to design luminaires • VICTORY SYSTEM IS THE • FIRST TO OVERCOME • ALL OF THESE ISSUES!

5. Philips “QL” • Bulb shape is like an over-sized GLS lamp • This gives poor optical control • Special heat-sinks needed • Hot lamp = lower efficacy • Extremely expensive lamp • Few luminaires available

6. Osram “Endura” • Strange rectangular bulb shape • Extremely specialised optics are needed • Few luminaires available • Tubular design like • fluorescent = high efficacy • Extremely expensive lamp

7. GE “Genura” • Reflector shaped lamp • Integrated ballast and screw base • Designed as GLS retrofit • Designed to fail after • only 15,000 hours • Short life makes it a less • attractive lamp

8. Panasonic • GLS shaped and sized lamp • 100W GLS retrofit, 12W consumption • Integrated ballast • 30,000 hour life • Very expensive lamp • only sold in Japan

9. Tungda (China) • Chinese copy of the Philips QL lamp • Quality of the ballast not so good • Rapid lumen depreciation • Lamp efficacy 20% less • Low cost makes it • interesting • But concerns over quality

10. The Victory Saturn Lamp • Efficient tubular style • New circline shape • Easy to design luminaires around it • Only lamp with a dimmable ballast • Available in special colours and shapes • Specially designed new electronic • chips for ultra low EMC radiation

11. Lamp Formats
