Kumho's state-of-the-art induction lamps deliver big savings
and bright white light

Unlike fluorescents, Econergy does not contain electrodes. This fact alone makes it outlive lamps using other technologies and create a huge impact on energy savings and reduced maintenance costs.

In addition, Econergy provides:

• Immediate, significant reduction in electricity costs of 40% to 60% over HID lamp sources
• Longer operating life resulting in substantial reduction in maintenance costs
• Faster lamp starting, instant re-strike
• Improved color and visual appearance. Color rendering index of 80 Ra
• No flickering, high frequency operation
• Available in 40,70,100,150 and 200W solutions
• Environmentally friendly technology, less landfill waste

With an average rated life of 100,000 hours and very low lumen depreciation, Econergy lamps provide an impressive savings in both materials and labor costs: by the time one Econergy lamp has reached its end of life, an older metal halide lamp would have been changed 8 to 9 times. And sodium vapor lamps would have been replaced, on average, 4 to 5 times.

 

Perhaps most impressive is Econergy’s watts per lumen feature. Not only does it consume less energy, but the light output is, literally, brighter.

Scotopic vs. photopic

Why do induction lights appear to be brighter even though a light meter may measure them as producing the same or even less light than conventional lamp? The reason is the contribution of scotopic vision (night vision) to the sensitivity of the eye. Scientific studies have shown the eye is more sensitive to blue wavelengths, the ones largely responsible for “visual acuity” or sharpness of vision. Simply put, induction lamps have a higher ratio of scotopic light (as compared with regular, photopic light). This ratio determines the apparent visual brightness of a light source, making the 100w induction lamp appear as bright or brighter to the human eye than a sodium vapor or metal halide of nearly twice the wattage.
