What is SUPERTEK induction lamp system and how does induction lighting work?

The SUPERTEK induction lamp system uses a revolutionary light technology that combines the basic principles of induction and gas discharge. The use of induction technology avoids the use of electrodes & this delivers an unprecedented 100,000 hours of high quality white light.

What are the components of the system?

The system is comprised of three components; the ballast, the magnetic rings and lamp tube. The rings transfer energy from the HF ballast to the discharge gas inside the glass tube using an antenna that contains the primary induction coil and its ferrite core. The rings also has a heat conducting rod with mounting flange. The mounting flange allows the Induction lamp system to be mechanically attached to the luminaries.

Why SUPERTEK Induction Lamps?

SUPERTEK Induction lamps offer an amazing 100,000 hours life making it virtually maintenance free. It offers crisp white light with 80+ CRI & a choice of 2700K, 3500K, 5000K and 6500K color temperatures. The high CRI light makes colors look brighter, more vibrant and more attractive. It produces up to 150 pupil lumens of light for each watt of energy. This efficacy makes it as energy efficient as high CRI metal halide systems. In almost all cases the payback in maintenance savings will more than offset the additional cost of the initial system. Induction lamps offer high reliability and instant on and off. (pls refer to our technology page for more technical details.)

Do SUPERTEK Induction lamps need a dedicated fixture?

Yes. We offer a range of fixtures designed specifically for our lamps. HID fixture should not be used especially because the reflector for HID fixture is Supertekt in general to reduce the glare. But induction lamp fixture is shiny in general to increase the reflectivity.

Can running a lamp interfere with computers, telecommunications or any other electronic device?

No. The system runs at 250kHz which complies with FCC and CE (EMC) regulations with non-interference under normal circumstances.

Is the light output of an SUPERTEK Induction lamp affected by temperature?

The lamps amalgam fill technology and the heat conduction rod in the centre create stable light output over a wide range of ambient temperatures, maintaining at least 85% of nominal lumens from -34°C to 55°C (for an enclosed fixture with heat sink). SUPERTEK induction lamps can start at temperatures as low as -40°C (high wattage) / -25°C (low wattage).

What is the typical lumen maintenance?

The lumen output of the induction lamp is expected to have depreciated after 60,000 hours to 70% of the initial rated lumens. (or 30% lumen depreciation)

When a fluorescent lamp is new, its light output is at the maximum. As the lamp operates, various processes (plasma, chemical, and thermal) within the lamp causes a gradual reduction of its lumen output. The degree to which the actual light output decreases with operating time is referred to as lumen maintenance.

How long will induction lamp last?

Induction lighting systems are designed to have an average rated life of 100,000 hours at a maximum ballast case temperature of 65°C. After 100,000 hours 50% of the ballasts will be surviving. (At 60,000 hours, 10% failures are expected.)

What type of gas is used inside of the lamp?

A mixture of inert gas such as argon.

Does operating position affect luminance output?

No. The universal operating position does not affect the performance of the induction lamp system. And the reflector of the fixture is used to direct the light to a designated area.

Is SUPERTEK Induction lamp dimmable?

Yes, the SUPERTEK induction lamp can be dimmed by up to 50%-100%.

Can the SUPERTEK Induction lamp system be used for a flashing beacon?

The system is recommended for use in long burning applications. Constant on and off switching reduces the system life significantly.

Is the SUPERTEK Induction lamp system vibration-resistant?

Yes. The fact that SUPERTEK Induction lamps have no electrodes make them more reliable in high-vibration and gusty applications. The SUPERTEK Induction lamp system has proven its durability in bridges, tunnels, and signage applications.

Does voltage supply fluctuations effect the performance of the induction system?

The IC in the ballast guarantees stable current output under voltage fluctuations from 170V - 250V. There is no noticeable effect in the light performance (color temperature, CRI) as a result of voltage fluctuations.

How to handle system disposal?

Lamp: Although a very small amount of mercury is used, it is recommended to treat the lamp as small chemical waste. The lamp can be recycled together with other low-pressure mercury discharge lamps. Follow local regulations for disposal of this type of light source.

Ballast. This component is a RoHS compliant electronic device, which can be disposed of with normal care. It is recommended to dispose of the ballast as normal electronic waste, according to local regulations.

At the end of life, must all components be replaced?

All components are separately replaceable, however, SUPERTEK Induction lights are almost always supplied as a system, even for re-lamping. End of life usually means the ballast must be replaced, and at the time, it is usually recommended to replace the lamp tube, as phosphor degeneration at 100,000 hours lowers lumen output 35% to 40%.

Why is SUPERTEK Induction lighting technology worth more?

The SUPERTEK Induction lighting system offers five to ten times the life of HID systems for only two to three times the cost of the HID lamp and ballast. In most cases the payback in maintenance savings will more than offset the additional cost of the initial system.
