Induction Lighting Features

� Long bulb life - 100,000 hours� High resistance to vibration� Works well in extreme temperatures

(-31° to 194° F)� High efficacy – 95 lumens per watt� .99 power factor� Lower operating temperatures

� Driver operates at ~ 90°� Lamp operates at ~ 150-200°

24Copyright © 2008 Lights of the Rockies, LLCPhone: 303-810-8684E-mail: [email protected]

Induction Lighting Features

� Excellent CRI (90+)� Wide range of color temperatures

(3500k, 4100k, 5000k) � Instant start / instant re-strike � Excellent lumen maintenance

� 95% over 40% of lamp life� 100% flicker-free, noise-free

A Green Alternative

� Simplified recycling� Mercury exists in solid form (amalgam)

� More energy efficient than HID lighting� Less waste generated than conventional

lighting� Longer bulb life = smaller carbon footprint

� Zero maintenance for 10 years� No replacement parts required

What CO2 Emission are Created by:

� Mining� Manufacturing� Transportation/Distribution� Warehousing� Installation� Maintenance� Recyclying

29Copyright © 2008 Lights of the Rockies, LLCPhone: 303-810-8684E-mail: [email protected]

Other Considerations

� May qualify for utility company rebates� Qualifies for Federal tax credits� High CRI = Greater clarity on CCT

cameras = improved security
