摘要

Induction lighting is a type of electrodeless lamp, a light source in which the power required to generate light is transferred from the outside of the lamp envelope by means of electromagnetic fields or induction. In other words, induction lamps don't use electrodes; instead, they use the principle of induction (transmission of energy by way of magnetic field). This contrasts with a traditional electric lamp, which uses electrical connections within the lamp envelope to transfer power. Except for this method of transferring power, induction lighting is similar to conventional fluorescent lamp technology in the way that UV is converted to visible light with the use of phosphors (e.g., mercury vapor in the discharge vessel is electrically excited to produce short-wave ultraviolet light, which then excites the phosphors coating the interior of the lamp to produce visible light), as shown in the Figure.
