Why induction lighting?

Energy Mizer induction lights are an easy replacement for metal halide and sodium lamps – for most people, they're a much better choice than T5s.

• Cheaper to run. Cheaper to maintain.
• Better quality of light.
• Tough.
• Perfect for motion sensors and timers.
• Everything’s recyclable. Even the mercury.
• How induction lighting works.
• Induction lighting – from 1890 to today.
• Five year Energy Mizer warranty.

  Cheaper to run. Cheaper to maintain.

  Compared to standard metal halide or sodium lamps, induction lighting uses a tiny amount of electricity – and has an incredibly long lifespan.

  • 50% lower energy costs – that’s a conservative estimate. Many of our customers save much more.
  • 50% less energy – an easy, instant way to reduce your carbon footprint.
  • Lower bulb replacement costs – you’ll typically need to replace a T5 light four times in ten years; metal halide or sodium lamps five times. In the same time, you’ll need to replace the induction light just once.

  Better quality of light

  Do you need flicker-free light for detail work and colour accuracy? Or perhaps you want to create a warm, welcoming glow. At Energy Mizer, we can tailor the colour temperature to match your needs.

  And you’ll get this quality of light for years. Even after around 80,000 hours of use, induction lamps still produce up to 80% of their peak lumen output.

  Tough

  From -40°C freezers right up to baking hot oil rigs. Relentless moisture. Extreme vibration. Induction lamps don’t need fragile electrodes, so they work flawlessly where traditional lamps struggle – and they shrug off the Great British weather.

• 

  Perfect for motion sensors and timers

  Induction lighting turns on and off… instantly. This makes it perfect for seldom-used areas in factories and warehouses, or with dawn to dusk sensors in car parks and any outside areas.

  Conventional metal halide and high pressure sodium lamps can’t be used with sensors – they simply take too long to warm up.

• 

  Everything’s recyclable. Even the mercury.

  The glass, the metal – even the snap-off mercury amalgam pellet – every part of an Energy Mizer induction lamp can be easily recycled. That’s important: it’s expensive and difficult to effectively recycle lamps which contain electrodes.

• 

  How induction lighting works

  Traditional gas discharge lamps use a fragile electrode to get started – it’s the electrode that’s most likely to fail.

  Induction lighting doesn’t use an electrode. Instead, an induction coil outside the lamp produces a strong magnetic field. This travels through the glass tube and excites the mercury atoms – they produce UV light.

  Finally, the phosphor coating inside the induction lamp converts this UV to crisp, clear, visible light.

• 

  Induction lighting – from 1890 to today

  Nikola Tesla invented induction lighting over 100 years ago; he also pioneered alternating current (AC) power transmission where Edison had failed.

  Tesla showed working models of induction lighting during his lifetime. But it’s only within the last decade that modern manufacturing technology has realised the true potential of induction lighting.

  Five year warranty – and a likely ten year life

  Induction lighting completely removes the main point of failure in gas discharge lights – the electrode. That’s why we’re able to offer an impressive five year guarantee.

  However, you should expect to get 100,000 hours of continuous service. Or to put it another way, more than 10 years of life if you leave your lights switched on 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
