Since the lamps are electrodeless, they are engineered to last over 10 years (24 hours per day), maintenance free.
When the color temperatures of the Induction lamps are in the range of 2700k to 8000k, the color rendering index (CRI) is above 90.
The higher CRI makes objects look bright, clear and natural. When the luminous efficiency is above 80Lm/W, color rendering is perfect. It is easier to differentiate colors with a higher CRI.
The total cost of ownership (TCO) includes the capital cost of the lighting project plus the overall operational and maintenance costs. Induction lamp technology is engineered to last 100,000 hours or 22.83 years and the metal halide lamp technology is engineered to last 20,000 hours or 4.56 years.
Therefore a customer would require changing their metal halide lamp system 5 times in 22.83 years. Typical paybacks for customers range from 2-5 years depending on the project.
