Green Facts about Induction Lighting
- Less wattage required to output the same (or more) amount of
light = less energy consumption: an Induction bulb uses 50% less wattage
than Metal Halide and almost half the consumption than a High Pressure
Sodium Bulb to produce virtually the same amount of Visually Effective
(or Pupil) lumens.
- Our exclusive Closed Loop Recycling Program: we make sure to
retrieve your old system and dispose of it properly to achieve maximum
sustainability recycling any possible part.
Less Wattage = Less Co2 Emissions: about 70% of the US electricity production comes from burning fossil fuels, (coal and gas) due to the lower wattage required to operate an induction lamp and its long lifespan, Induction bulbs emit less than half Co2 than Metal Halide systems.
Extremely low heat emission = 1/3 reduction on AC usage consumption on indoor applications: an incandescent bulb uses only 10% of its energy to produce light, the remaining 90% its wasted as heat. An Induction bulb only wastes about 1% of its energy output in heat, the rest is used for light production, the reduction in heat emission means a reduction in A/C usage for indoor applications.
Longer Lifespan = less landfill space: an Induction bulb lasts 100,000 hrs, compare that to a Metal Halide bulb which only lasts 15,000. By the time you have to replace the induction bulb for the first time you would have already dumped 6 Metal Halide ones.
Mercury Containment: energy efficient lighting uses mercury, some in liquid form and some in solid form. Induction Bulbs use Mercury in solid form thus allowing for it to be easily removed for recycling or, in case of accidental breakage, to be easily picked up (wearing safety disposable globes) and properly disposed of. Liquid Mercury can be absorbed into flooring creating a contaminated area once it evaporates.
