About 30 years ago a new lighting technology became available without much fanfare, but it only gained popularity after being
re introduced in the 1990s. Induction lighting technology, similar to fluorescent lighting, "offers a life span of up to 100.000
hours, outlasting 100 incandescent bulbs, five HID lights, or live typical fluorescent lamp changes," according to information
from Full Spectrum Solutions. With induction lighting's obvious benefits ofa long lifespan and Httle-to-no maintenance, are
college campuses rushing out to switch over?
How It Works
induction lighting is based off the principle Unit a gas discharge through magnetism can produce light. Basically, mercury vapor,
located in the discharge vessel, is excited with the creation ofa magnetic field inside the lamp vessel, producing invisible ultra
violet light. Visible light is then produced when the ultraviolet light passes through a phosphor coating on the surface of the
tube. There is no electrical connection within the bulb, thus the generation of light is achieved through electromagnetic induc
tion.
Benefits and Drawbacks
According to Dae llur, HID product manager, strategic marketing for Philips Lighting Company, the lack of electrodes means,
"the system's life is much longer than conventional light sources. If the system components are designed properly, in terms of
thermal management, then the system average raied life will be about 100.000 hours." This long life translates into lower main
tenance, a benefit to colleges who often recoup their initial costs through time from use of these lighting systems. Often, the only
drawback to these systems is the initial cost, so it has been important for colleges and cities using induction lighting to show the
rate of return. "Sacramento Municipal District docs a lot of case studies, and they were trying to show the payback in the long
life." commented Steve Beede, market development manager at l.utron. "They were showing the energy efficiency and the long
life. It does have a high price lo it right now, and they are trying to show the benefits in the payback in the life of the bulb."
JoeMe Kolflagen, marketing director for Full Spectrum Solutions, added to that point. "Its maintenance free: you're not going to
have to mess with it once it is up. There aren't the maintenance charges of someone going out and having to change your bulbs."
she explained.
Induction lighting technology has other benefits. Induction lighting can be turned on and off without waiting, like a typical hai-
ide fixture. Philip's QL induction lighting system "is instant on/instant restrike, which is helpful during power outages," stated
1 lur. Most induction lighting systems also have very good optics. "If replicales natural daylight, so it isn't glowy orange," said
Kolhagen. The phosphors are similar to a traditional fluoresceul system's, providing great white light of CR! 80 with a choice of
color temperalures. Beede also mentioned that an induction light puts out more lumens than an individual fluorescent light, al
though "a typical fluorescent fixture will have six lights compared to the one incandescent light in its fixture/"
Where It Works
According to Beede. induction lighting operates well at a range of temperatures, including lower temperatures. He suggested.
"These systems work great for outdoor applications, places where you don't want to be doing a lot of maintenance. This in
cludes places where you want to have a good deal oflight, like parking garages."
Kolhagen noted that Full Spectrum Solutions works with the University of California, Davis, which has recently been redoing
some parking garages. "We have different options for controlling [our induction lighting systems]." she stated. "Some of the
fixtures have daylight sensors so that the light is off during the day." The fixtures installed in (he UC Davis parking garages can
be dimmed to 50 percent when no one is using the facility. The lighting returns to 100 percent when someone comes in. "The
parking fi.xlures do go down to 50 percent, so you still have the light for safety issues. At 50 percent, the light is still pretty
bright,'' she added.](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/everlastinductionlamp-100512012142-phpapp01/85/Ever-last-induction-lamp-27-320.jpg)
![Full Spectrum Lighting is a privately held, 30-employee company that reports gross sales of $10 million.
The company has historically marketed Paralite, UltraLux and BlueMax table and floor lamps, notable for
producing natural light, in the retail sector. However, beginning in 2002, the company entered the
commercial market with a high-bay lamp and fixture.
The recently patented Everlast features a fluorescent lamp that is absent electrodes.
“[The lamp] will play a part in the reshaping of lighting warehouses and other commercial spaces,
including parking lots and roadways,” said Justin Baldwin, commercial sales manager.
The lamp’s electronic ballast operates at 200,000 kHz, a level that eliminates the bothersome, irregular
flickering of fluorescent tubes. Additionally, lamps will operate in temperatures ranging from –22°F to
130°F.
“These lamps produce near perfect color rendition that lasts the life of the lamp, and lumen maintenance
unaffected by continual on/off cycling,” Baldwin said. “Plus, lamps are dimmable in stages, or on a
progressive pattern to 50 percent of maximum output.
“We see EverLast making the largest impact anywhere that the lifetime cost of lighting fixtures are
considered. The technology will allow for businesses to become more competitive, and municipalities to
reduce their spending through decreased energy and maintenance costs,” he said.](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/everlastinductionlamp-100512012142-phpapp01/85/Ever-last-induction-lamp-31-320.jpg)

COLLEG Planning Csf Management July 2008 A Reproduction lo Induction Lighting by Christine Beitenhaus About 30years ago a new lighting technology became available without much fanfare, but il only gained popularity after being reintroc/ucecl in ihe 1990s. With induction lighting's obvious benefits of a long lifespan and litdc-to-no inuinh-nance, are college campuses rushing out to switch over? About 30 years ago a new lighting technology became available without much fanfare, but it only gained popularity after being re introduced in the 1990s. Induction lighting technology, similar to fluorescent lighting, "offers a life span of up to 100.000 hours, outlasting 100 incandescent bulbs, five HID lights, or live typical fluorescent lamp changes," according to information from Full Spectrum Solutions. With induction lighting's obvious benefits ofa long lifespan and Httle-to-no maintenance, are college campuses rushing out to switch over? How It Works induction lighting is based off the principle Unit a gas discharge through magnetism can produce light. Basically, mercury vapor, located in the discharge vessel, is excited with the creation ofa magnetic field inside the lamp vessel, producing invisible ultra violet light. Visible light is then produced when the ultraviolet light passes through a phosphor coating on the surface of the tube. There is no electrical connection within the bulb, thus the generation of light is achieved through electromagnetic induc tion. Benefits and Drawbacks According to Dae llur, HID product manager, strategic marketing for Philips Lighting Company, the lack of electrodes means, "the system's life is much longer than conventional light sources. If the system components are designed properly, in terms of thermal management, then the system average raied life will be about 100.000 hours." This long life translates into lower main tenance, a benefit to colleges who often recoup their initial costs through time from use of these lighting systems. Often, the only drawback to these systems is the initial cost, so it has been important for colleges and cities using induction lighting to show the rate of return. "Sacramento Municipal District docs a lot of case studies, and they were trying to show the payback in the long life." commented Steve Beede, market development manager at l.utron. "They were showing the energy efficiency and the long life. It does have a high price lo it right now, and they are trying to show the benefits in the payback in the life of the bulb." JoeMe Kolflagen, marketing director for Full Spectrum Solutions, added to that point. "Its maintenance free: you're not going to have to mess with it once it is up. There aren't the maintenance charges of someone going out and having to change your bulbs." she explained. Induction lighting technology has other benefits. Induction lighting can be turned on and off without waiting, like a typical hai- ide fixture. Philip's QL induction lighting system "is instant on/instant restrike, which is helpful during power outages," stated 1 lur. Most induction lighting systems also have very good optics. "If replicales natural daylight, so it isn't glowy orange," said Kolhagen. The phosphors are similar to a traditional fluoresceul system's, providing great white light of CR! 80 with a choice of color temperalures. Beede also mentioned that an induction light puts out more lumens than an individual fluorescent light, al though "a typical fluorescent fixture will have six lights compared to the one incandescent light in its fixture/" Where It Works According to Beede. induction lighting operates well at a range of temperatures, including lower temperatures. He suggested. "These systems work great for outdoor applications, places where you don't want to be doing a lot of maintenance. This in cludes places where you want to have a good deal oflight, like parking garages." Kolhagen noted that Full Spectrum Solutions works with the University of California, Davis, which has recently been redoing some parking garages. "We have different options for controlling [our induction lighting systems]." she stated. "Some of the fixtures have daylight sensors so that the light is off during the day." The fixtures installed in (he UC Davis parking garages can be dimmed to 50 percent when no one is using the facility. The lighting returns to 100 percent when someone comes in. "The parking fi.xlures do go down to 50 percent, so you still have the light for safety issues. At 50 percent, the light is still pretty bright,'' she added.
- 29. April 2009 Bright Ideas New-and-improved technologies help companies save on energy costs, make work environments user-friendly, and reduce electrical grid loads. The Right Technology for the Right Problem Energy-efficient lighting is what the California Lighting Technology Center (CLTC) on the University of California (UC) Davis campus is all about. Established through a joint effort of the California Energy Commission and UC Davis to stimulate the research, development, and application of energy-efficient lighting, CLTC is part of the Design Department in the College of Letters and Science. CLTC’s Director of Engineering, Bruce Pelton says, “We use the university and college system as a test bed. Right now, we’re using four parking lots on campus to test three lighting systems. Moving towards white light, we’ve conducted trials on bi-level metal hydrate, LED, and induction lamps. We’re technology neutral. The trick for us is finding the right technology for the right problem.” According to Pelton, the State of California is looking at energy efficiency and “is outlawing low-efficient light sources. It will soon demand that outdoor fixtures are controllable.” Working with local utilities, Pelton says they paid one-third of the cost for the roll out of the 1500 induction lamps for purchase and installation. “The utilities like the long-life property of the induction lamps with the energy reduction,” he adds. “It makes more sense to conserve and delay the need for new energy sources. The utilities are paid for what they produce and what they conserve. They will put a quarter- million dollars into this project.” What’s being tested at UC Davis can easily extend to the 11 campuses in the UC system, state universities, community colleges, and state buildings. “The State of California is one of the largest landlords in the world,” says Pelton. And he loves the 100,000-hour life of induction lamps. “As they use 4,380 hours per year, that means in excess of 20 years,” says Pelton. “We’ve never had to deal with anything that lasts this long.” He also loves how the lighting is intelligently controlled, and spoke of proximity detection—lighting at night in public places where an area with full brightness broadcasts that someone or something has been there. White light and proximity detection “effectively extends a police department’s scene. So with induction lighting, we’re enhancing security,” says Pelton. Although he sees a growing future for LED lamps, he says that out in the world at nighttime they are a problem because, with the efficiency of LED’s, it’s hard to control the distribution of the light. In addition, since induction lighting is currently one-third to one-half the cost of LED’s, it makes sense for the University to move towards induction lighting for exterior lighting. For parking structure needs, Pelton is particularly pleased with induction lamps, and recently rolled out with 1500 EverLast 85-watt step-dimming fixtures from Full Spectrum Solutions Inc. of Jackson, MI. The campus and the utility are happy with the power offset—a 40% reduction in energy use. The new EverLast gives a lamp rating of 100,000 hours, and Full Spectrum Solutions claims energy savings can reach 60%. The EverLast fixtures have unlimited on/off cycles and instant restrike features, allowing for occupancy sensors or frequent switching with no effect on lamp life. With the long lamp life and lower ballast losses, Joelle Kolhagen, Full Spectrum’s marketing director, says, “We see EverLast making the largest impact anywhere that the lifetime cost of lighting fixtures is considered.” Pelton adds that the switching is good, as is the transition from low to high levels of light. He says that the University is satisfied with the cost/value proposition of induction lighting. However, he doesn’t recommend it for a retrofit project, especially when adding a proximity detector, as that demands even more wiring.

- 31. Full Spectrum Lightingis a privately held, 30-employee company that reports gross sales of $10 million. The company has historically marketed Paralite, UltraLux and BlueMax table and floor lamps, notable for producing natural light, in the retail sector. However, beginning in 2002, the company entered the commercial market with a high-bay lamp and fixture. The recently patented Everlast features a fluorescent lamp that is absent electrodes. “[The lamp] will play a part in the reshaping of lighting warehouses and other commercial spaces, including parking lots and roadways,” said Justin Baldwin, commercial sales manager. The lamp’s electronic ballast operates at 200,000 kHz, a level that eliminates the bothersome, irregular flickering of fluorescent tubes. Additionally, lamps will operate in temperatures ranging from –22°F to 130°F. “These lamps produce near perfect color rendition that lasts the life of the lamp, and lumen maintenance unaffected by continual on/off cycling,” Baldwin said. “Plus, lamps are dimmable in stages, or on a progressive pattern to 50 percent of maximum output. “We see EverLast making the largest impact anywhere that the lifetime cost of lighting fixtures are considered. The technology will allow for businesses to become more competitive, and municipalities to reduce their spending through decreased energy and maintenance costs,” he said.

This particular light is on a pole at the entrance to Buhr Park on Packard Road. GLITR Newsletter This light pole has a small wind generator at the top and two solar electric panels on the sides that provide GLITR Friday, March 13, 2009 electricity to charge batteries. These batteries operate a streetlight on the pole to illuminate the entrance drive to Buhr Park and Cobblestone Farm. GLITR Thursday, March 12, 2009 This renewable-energy powered light is not hooked up to Detroit Edison and runs 100 percent on sun and wind energy. GLITR Wednesday, March 11, 2009 This hybrid wind-solar light represents a partnership between the City of Ann Arbor and the University of Michigan’s Sustainable Design Research Laboratory within the Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning. GLITR Tuesday, March 10, 2009 The light was donated to the SDRL for testing by Everlast Induction Lighting of Jackson. The city of Ann GLITR Monday, March 9, 2009 Arbor was contacted by the SDLR and given an opportunity to provide a location to install this test light. The Buhr Park entrance was chosen because of the need for more lighting at the entrance and because this unique light would be very visible to the public. “The City of Ann Arbor has set aggressive goals to reduce global warming emissions and use renewable energy where possible," said Ann Arbor city energy coordinator David Konkle. "This lighting pilot test Archive represents a UM - city partnership to test technologies to help reach those goals.” Besides being powered by solar and wind energy, the light itself is unique. It is an “induction” light that has GLITR Podcasts no electrodes or electrical connections to the lamp. The power needed to generate light is transferred from the outside of the lamp envelope by means of electromagnetic fields. Therefore, the light has a very long Great Lakes IT Report 3/20 lifetime, and is expected to last over 22 years of nighttime operation.
