Induction Lamp, unlike most other light technologies, does not use electrodes to create illumination. Rather than using electrodes or filaments, which is typically the first failure point
in a fluorescent lamp, induction lamps use magnets to conduct electricity. And with no electrodes to fail the XPES® Induction Light will last up to 100,000 hours.

Simply, here's how it works: rings with magnetic coils create an electromagnetic field using high frequency generated by an electronic ballast. This field goes around a glass tube and the closed loop formed by the discharge path is induced by the coils, causing acceleration of free electrons that collide with mercury atoms and excite the electrons. As the electrons reach a lower, more stable level, they give off energy in the form of invisible UV light. The UV light strikes the phosphorous lining in the tube, creating a reaction that changes the UV light to a harmless,white visible light.
