Apsara Interior Solutions

• A hybrid fluorescent lamp technology first introduced in 1891 that eliminates the need for electrodes and filaments; generating light by means of a high frequency transmission of energy combined with a gas discharge. 

• As with conventional fluorescent lamps, varying the composition of the phosphors coated onto the inside of induction lamps, allows for models with different color temperatures. 

• Unlike conventional fluorescent technology there are no failures caused by filament erosion, vibration, or seal breach.

• In a variation of this technology, Internal magnetic induction lamps use a light bulb shaped glass lamp, which has a test-tube like re- entrant central cavity.

• This cavity is coated with phosphors on the interior, filled with inert gas and a pellet of mercury amalgam.

• The induction coil is wound around a ferrite shaft which is inserted into the central test-tube like cavity.

•  The inductor is excited by high frequency energy provided by an external electronic ballast (generator) causing a magnetic field to penetrate the glass and excite the mercury atoms, which emit UV light, that is converted to visible light by the phosphor coating.

• External magnetic induction lamps are essentially fluorescent lamps with electromagnets wrapped around a section of the lamp tube. 

• High frequency energy, from the electronic ballast (generator), is sent through wires, which are wrapped in a coil around the ferrite inductor, creating a powerful magnet.

• The induction coil produces a very strong magnetic field which travels through the glass and excites the mercury atoms in the interior which are provided by a pellet of amalgam (a solid form of mercury). 

• The mercury atoms emit UV light and, just as in a fluorescent tube, the UV light is up-converted to visible light by the phosphor coating on the inside of the tube. 

• The system can be considered as a type of transformer where the inductor is the primary coil while the mercury atoms within the envelope/tube form a single-turn secondary coil.

Following are the LVD Products Advantages:

• Unlike MHAL/ Sodium light LVD starts instantly and takes hardly 15-30 sec to reach its max Lux level

 

• Long life: LVD Induction Lamp has of 60,000-1,00,000 hrs. i.e. if your working hours is 24 hrs than it will run till 6 to 7 yrs and if your usage is 12 hrs per day it will run 11 to 12 yrs. Whereas fluorescent tube light has the life of just 8000 hrs

 

• As LVD induction Lamp has the capacity to save energy up to 60%, your genset/ UPS capacity also increases

 

• The LVD bulb is superior in every regards to any other light technology. While high pressure sodium is extremely energy efficient, the light color (i.e. Vision spectrum) is not optimized, so although the light meter will register more light, the human eye will detect twice light from LVD bulb as compared to sodium bulb

 

• Ampere load Distortion: Your conductive load i.e. wiring, electrical fitting, fixtures get heated due to electromagnetic forces emitted through such luminaries that are of high voltage. This will lead to transmission loss. Your existing wiring or say conductive life will double as we are giving you 50-60% saving

 

• Waste disposal policy: Govt. has introduced a compulsory audit for recycling/effluent treatment of disposing the electrical waste as this waste will emit lead/mercury in the environment which is hazardous if exposed to air. This will lead to expense of audit charges which are extremely high. Our luminaries do not emit lead while disposing and is the “Greenest light” available at present. So even after its life is finished, it saves you the cost of recycling/effluent treatment

 

• Lumens depreciation rate: All fluorescent lamps has depreciation rate. There light output will reduce by certain percentage (the chart of it is given in our catalog. According to the chart metal has a lumens drop of 40% in 2000 working hours against 5% of LVD induction lamp, so on 12 hrs per day usage at this rate i.e. after 2000 working hours. You will get a reduced & compromised light of 75% efficiency. If you do not want to compromise, than you have to buy a new luminaire/ bulb after every six months i.e. (2000 working hrs/ 24 hrs/ per day usage=83 days approx. - 2.7 months) at the rate 200 rs (i.e. 40 rs per tube)/ luminaire. Our guarantee is for 36 months so in 36 months you will have to buy 65 tubes i.e. ( 36 months guarantee period / 2.7 months = 13 times 5 tube light)

 

So LVD induction lamp may attract higher cost initially, which, is covered in a year and after that it serves you with loyalty by saving your energy cost, maintenance cost, increasing your Amp. Load capacity and avoid recycling/effluent treatment cost.

• OHMS internal induction lamps & external induction lamps typically have a longer life (60 k Hrs-100 k Hrs) 

• External induction lamps manage heat either by convection through the air or conduction into the fixture

• OHMS internal induction lamps operate with a higher internal temperature and must cool by conduction to the base heat sink and by radiation through the glass walls

• With both lamp types a small percentage of mercury ions are absorbed by the phosphor coating over time, once the mercury ions inside the envelope are depleted, the lamp emits only a very dim light and has to be replaced

• OHMS Electronic Ballasts (generators), Magnetic Coil, Luminar comes with replaceable warranty for three years. (Actual life expectancy can be significantly longer with proper thermal management)
