INDUCTION LIGHTING

BLE. The induction lighting specialist.

At BLE, we supply a huge range of induction lighting and lamps, also known as Electrode-Less-High-Performance-Fluorescent Lamps (EPHPLs) lamps and ballasts, from leading suppliers and top quality manufacturers. In addition, we produce our own range which offers premium quality at outstanding value for money.

Not only do induction lamps offer huge savings over conventional fitting because of energy efficiency and reduced maintenance costs, they also can improve the quality of light in commercial and industrial applications because they produce a crisp, white light.

We have a range of external induction housings and internal induction housings and, in many cases, the lamp can be retro-fitted into existing fittings - making their application more cost effective and environmentally friendly. 

Our Induction lamps operate 50/60Hz, CRI (Ra) = 80+, Power Factor =>0.95, THD%<10%, Lamp frequency 250KHz.

The benefits of Induction lighting

- On average they give energy savings from 40% upwards!
- Exceptionally long life expectancy of >70% lumen maintenance up to 60,000hrs  with a total life expectancy of 100,000hrs. This compares to just 6,000hrs for most conventional lamps. This is a huge advantage for high or inaccessible installations
- Reduced energy costs
- Reduced maintenance costs because fewer replacements required
- Dimmable
- Low heat generation
- Instant On-Capability ‘Hot-start’ so can be used with photocell or motion sensor

About Induction Lighting

An induction light works in a similar way to a fluorescent light in that it uses gasses. Basically, the gas reacts with the phosphor that coats the tubes and produces white light.

Induction lighting uses much less energy than a conventional lamp and last longer: up to 75,000 hours at 90% efficiency compared with 6,000 hours on average for a T8 fluorescent or a conventional sodium lamp. An induction lamp can therefore last longer than 100 traditional incandescent, 5 fluorescent lamp replacements for 5 high-intensity discharge lamps (HID).

How does induction lighting work?

There are no electrodes or filaments in an induction lamp. Rings with magnetic coils create an electromagnetic field using the high frequency generated by the electronic ballast. This electromagnetic field goes around the glass filled tube. Electrons discharged by the magnetic coils collide with mercury atoms inside the tube and become excited. These electrons give off energy in the form of invisible UV light. The conversion to visible light occurs when it passes through a phosphor coating on the inside of the tube.
