LONG BEACH, Calif., Dec. 13 /PRNewswire/ -- US Lighting Tech, a manufacturer of commercial lighting products, is marketing induction lighting, the most environmentally friendly lighting solution, for businesses and municipalities that want to reduce costs and carbon emissions while improving quality and safety. Induction systems use wireless technology to produce light, which results in an unprecedented rated life of 10 years. This is five times longer than common, high intensity discharge (HID) lighting that uses electrodes that degrade significantly over time. A longer rated life means less replacement maintenance and fewer lamps discarded into landfills. Induction lights also use approximately 40 percent less energy than HID lights that lose energy to heat, resulting in higher energy costs and emissions. "Rising energy prices and climate change concerns are driving demand for more energy efficient technologies. We are revolutionizing the lighting industry by providing an eco-friendly solution for one of society's most fundamental needs," said Richard Ham, president of US Lighting Tech. Induction lighting is ideal for hard-to-reach, hazardous places such as tunnels and warehouses where reliability and functionality is key and maintenance is labor intensive. US Lighting Tech estimates that by replacing 10,000 70W High Pressure Sodium lights with 10,000 40W induction lights, a customer can save approximately $3.5M over 10 years in energy and maintenance costs. That translates into reductions totaling 20 million pounds of carbon emissions or taking 2,700 cars off the road annually.
