Whatever aspect of lighting that you prioritize, LVD induction lamps are superior in many categories. Energy efficiency, life, color rendition, lumen depreciation, waste/heat output, glare... the list goes on. LVD lamps are truly the next generation of electric light that is set to displace several existing forms of electric lighting.
Below we have listed most of the benefits of LVD lamps. It is not an all encompassing list but you will see that they are the superior choice for many applications.
| LVD Induction Lamp Features |
| Patented IC controlled electronic ballast No electrodes or filaments, external ferrite coils Wide voltage (120-277V, 12/24DC) / wattage range (15W - 200W) Available color temperatures: 2700K, 3500K, 4100K, 5000K, 6500K Excellent Lumen Maintenance over life Low EMC interference frequency of 210kHz Reliable ignition at -35°C Color Rendition, CRI 82 with no shifting over life High Luminous Efficacy, 80 lm/W Low Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) 2.7% Superb Efficient Power Factor of 0.99 |
| LVD Induction Lamp Advantages Over Other Light Sources | |
| LVD vs Bubble (Internal Coil) Induction Longer life at extreme temperatures Dimmable (now in testing) Higher Light Output - 80 lm/W vs 60lm/W Lower Frequency - 210kHz vs. 2.65Mhz Greater range of wattages available More color temperatures available Frequent switching - no affect on life |
LVD vs Metal Halide Lamps (MHL) Instant on / re-strike 5-10x longer life than Metal Halide Lamps No flickering, strobing and much less glare Lower Maintenance Costs Better Color Characteristics - 82 CRI vs. 65-75 Lower Min. Start Temp -35°F vs. -20°F Less Heat Output - Reduces cooling costs Higher Lumen Maintenance - 70%@60,000 hrs. MHL 65%@mean life (4000-8000 hrs.) CMH 80%@mean life (3600-8000 hrs.) |
| LVD vs Fluorescent Lamps Longer life - 100,000 hours Similar energy efficency of T8 & T5 HO No flickering or strobing Size - LVD Venus more lumens than CFL No Electrodes - no on/off impact on life Low Maintenance - 1 LVD lasts as long as: 8 HO replacements 6 T8 replacements |
LVD vs Incandescent Lamps 20x the rated life Clearly better energy efficiency Less glare Less heat and CO2 output |
