Induction lighting is a revolutionary technology that uses electromagnetic fields to generate light. This system enjoys many benefits compared to traditional bulbs and QL induction systems, and is more efficient than even compact fluorescent tubes.

How Does it Work?
Induction lights work very similar to regular compact fluorescent bulbs. Both use electrical currents to "excite" gas enclosed in glass tubes. The difference is that regular compact fluorescents pass the current through filaments inside the glass — these filaments have a short lifespan, and are burned out in as little as 15,000 hours.

There are no electrodes or filaments in induction lights — energy is delivered to the gas wirelessly. Since there is no filament, induction lights are rated for over 100,000 hours of burning.

The History Of Induction Lighting
The roots of induction technology are found in research of the legendary "Father of Modern Physics", Nikola Tesla^[1]. He felt his electrodeless vacuum tube was far superior to Thomas Edison's incandescent light bulb, but he was unable to overcome Edison's production efficiencies. Undaunted, Tesla predicted that someday his lamp would supersede all others, since they were much more economical and yielded "light of indescribable beauty and softness".

Man's exploration of Space provided the next leap in induction technology. NASA^[2] invested millions of dollars researching wireless energy transfer as a potential source of more efficient Space travel. This work was influential in commercializing the induction technology sold today.
