Many have not been able to rationalize spending so much money on LED lighting even though more than 50% energy savings can be realized.

Sometimes, it’s not the price at issue, but the difficulty in matching incandescent and fluorescent colors (Kelvin values) to the LED ones. With LEDs it can be harder to achieve that warm light effect which many prefer to the white-blue light commonly found in the cheaper “Home Depot” variety of LEDs. Then there’s the laser-like direction of the LEDs’ light in a narrow beam.

Luckily, there is a compromise: Induction lighting.

What is an induction lamp? It’s a fluorescent type bulb without the metal electrical contacts used to conduct electricity from the fixture to the light-emitting gas inside the bulb. The lamps are capable of saving a generous 40% over their fluorescent counterparts, and some models boast a life expectancy of up to 100,000 hours.

What is the advantage of not having metal contacts on the bulb? When a bulb heats up, the metal and glass components expand and contract by different amounts. After many cycles of heating  and cooling, the lamp’s glass becomes stressed by this pulling and pushing, and the contact area between the glass and metal can become compromised. Eventually, air leaks in and the bulb is no longer functional.

Induction is the process of transmitting energy via an electro-magnetic field. The light emitting gas inside the bulbs is excited, or energized when located within a sufficiently strong EMF, or electro-magnetic field, which is induced by passing alternating current through a coil, or inductor.  This means that electricity-conducting metal contacts are unnecessary on the bulb, and the bulb will experience longer life.

Other advantages of induction lighting are better color rendition, and better control of the bulbs color range from daylight to soft white. The Kelvin values match the accepted standard.

Our induction lighting fixtures and bulbs are manufactured in the United States, and can contribute points towards your LEED project. Please consult with your local expert to determine if inductive lighting is right for your project and will, in fact, translate into LEED points and the resultant tax savings.

LED Retrofit Analysis:

Replacement of (2) fluorescent T8 light bulbs with (2) LED T8’s (fixtures remain in place, ballast is removed):

LED Bulb Cost: $ 96.00 for (2) 48″ T8 Equivalent 120V, 15W, 300 LED, 150 lumen each)
less ballast cost: -$ 30.00 (Assume Qty(1) per Fixture)
less T8 bulb cost: -$ 8.00 for (2) bulbs

Cost differential for LED vs T8: $ 58.00 per fixture

Cost of LEDs over their 12 year lifespan (0 Replacements): $ 96.00
Replacement cost of T8 over 12 years: $ 130.00 not including installation labor
Assumptions: 3 ballast replacements and 5 T8 bulb replacements

Operating cost of 2 LEDs over 12 years: 30 watts x 40 hrs/wk x 52 wks x 12 yrs x $ 0.00011 = $ 82
Operating cost of 2 T8’s over 12 years: 68 watts x (above constants) = $ 187

Annual operating cost savings using LEDs: ($ 187 – $ 82) / 12 = $ 8.75

Payback is achieved in 5.48 years on electrical savings alone. With an expected life of 12 years, these bulbs will pay for themselves twice!

Total costs (replacement plus operating) of each technology over 12 years (comparing one-to-one):

Fluorescent: $ 158                          LED: $ 89

This does not even take into account other incentives such as commercial real estate credits for LEED certification, utility rebates, etc.
