1 Pemco Lighting Products is very pleased to be able to offer a wide variety of Induction lamp systems, as an option, in almost all fixtures we manufacture. The following information should help you determine if the Induction System is right for your applications or use. There are many advantages to installing this type of system over the standard HID systems, which more than compensate for the added cost. The following benefits and information should be very helpful. For pricing, contact the factory. LONG-LASTING BENEFITS Induction lamp system constitutes a complete revolution in lighting technology because the lamp has no filament or electrodes. This electrodeless technology results in an amazing,000 hr. rated life. Induction system s unmatched life makes it the system of choice for applications where lamp replacement is difficult, costly or hazardous. In fact, Induction system illuminates any application, from heavy industrial to upscale architectural, with a beautiful, efficient, high-color rendering (>), crisp white light. Designers, end-users, and fixture manufacturers are quickly developing creative uses for this unique lamp, as well as retrofit applications, due to its Federal Communications Commission compliant design. THE EVOLUTION OF LIGHTING Similar to a compact fluorescent lamp and ballast system, each Induction system is comprised of a high- INDUCTION Induction lighting is a hybridized form of fluorescent lighting, so it involves no electrodes. The "ignition system" isn't internal; it s not even electrical. The "spark plug" is a high frequency electromagnetic field, usually generated outside the tube. Since there are no electrodes constantly heating up and cooling down, there are no electrodes to eventually burn out. This means longer, more efficient lamp life. LUMEN MAINTENANCE Induction's ultra long lamp life provides low maintenance costs through out the life of the lamp. This means big savings over the competition. % rated lumen output Lamp Replacement at 65% / EOL { 65 METAL HALIDE LED HIGH PRESSURE SODIUM INDUCTION 10,000 20,000 40,000,000,000,000 CRI Color Rendering Index is the expression electrical engineers use to describe how white your white looks; how red your red; how blue your blue -- in other words, how closely your lamp reproduces colors to the way they look in ordinary daylight. The more color matters to you or to your business, the happier you ll be with a high CRI.

The bulb shapes, wattages, and lumen packages are progressively larger. BENEFITS OF ELECTRODELESS TECHNOLOGY Induction system lamps last and last because there is no filament or electrode to wear out. Not having to relamp for 12 to 25 years can prove advantageous in any situation, but even more so in hard-to-reach or dangerous applications: train and bus stations, shopping centers, bridges, airports, street lighting, lighted advertisements, industrial plants, and tunnels, to name a few. The use of Induction system reduces safety hazards due to spot outages and results in effectively zero maintenance. With up to 18, 7 initial lumens, Induction system induction lighting offers outstanding long-term economy, as well as: Flicker-free illumination Instant-on performance, hot or cold High color rendering, better than CRI No color shift over system life Choice of color temperatures: 20K, 3000K, 30K, 4000K, 4K, 40K, 00K, 60K Vibration resistance Compact, versatile point-source lamp shape Resistance to voltage fluctuations Unlike standard fluorescents, which undergo end blackening from electrode sputter at cold start-up, Induction system has no electrodes, and therefore no bulb blackening. Resistance to failure under extreme vibration conditions is a notable benefit of Induction system. It has been used with longterm success on bridges, tunnels, high-voltage towers, and airport warning beacons, all of which are subject to vibrations and harsh conditions. Like standard fluorescents, Induction system operation is based on a low-pressure mercury discharge, leaving no chance of nonpassive failure. Therefore Induction system luminaires are rated for open fixture designs, such as downlights. HOW IT WORKS The Induction system is comprised of an HF ballast (generator); power coupler; and bulb (discharge vessel). An oscillator within the generator introduces an HF current (2.65 MHz) into the power coupler-an inductive coil wound around a ferrite core-inside the discharge vessel. A coaxial cable connects the generator to the power coupler. Just as in a transformer, the core-andcoil power coupler produces a magnetic field. This field then induces a secondary electrical current in the mercury vapor within the bulb.

It is recommended if the system requires a cold start at -30 C that a thermal blanket be installed at the factory on the amalgam tip; this will ensure a consistent start and rapid stabilization of the lamp and lumen output. Rated Lumen Maintenance is largely determined by operating temperature of the lamp and quality of lamp design; Induction systems are designed and manufactured with high quality tri-phosphors and solid amalgam to optimize the performance and rated life of the lamp. The above chart is intended to represent an average rated lumen output stated as a percentage of the initial lumen output over the rated life of the lamp. Operating the lamp within the temperatures specification will typically result in not less than % lumen output at Khrs. System Rated Life varies with operating temperature and application. Induction generators are designed with high quality long lasting components and when operated at the rated Tc 65ºC expected life is Khrs with failure rate of 15% to 20%. Operating temperatures less than the rated Tc 65ºC can typically improve life expectancy and reduce failure rate.

3 LAMP USAGE, MOUNTING HEIGHTS, CALCULATIONS END OF LIFE CONDITIONS There are, under normal operating conditions, no life-determining parts in the power coupler or bulb (vessel), although the phosphors will degrade somewhat over the long term. Life is basically determined by the HF ballast (generator). The rated life of the Induction system is,000 hrs., with a statistical failure rate of only 1% per 4000 hrs. After about,000 hrs., users can expect a 10% to 20% mortality rate with a maximum decline in light output of no more than 30% per lamp. After operating the full,000 hrs., one can expect 35% to 40% light loss. APPLICATIONS White light, compact size, round shape and a full range of lumen packages make Induction system suited for an incredible diversity of both indoor and outdoor applications: public buildings, indoor sports facilities, shops, malls, banks, and outdoor lighting in residential areas and in city beautification projects. The simplicity of retrofitting Induction system, as well as its point-source configuration, have led to the inclusion of this high-tech source in historic districts inside period lanterns and other luminaires. Induction system is perfect for difficult-to-relamp spaces, particularly due to its reliability. The extremely low early failure rate virtually eliminates unscheduled maintenance. Long life Induction system lamps are suited for airports, hotel corridors, indoor signage, grocery stores, banks, and other 24-hr. installations will quickly realize savings in relamping costs, as will aquatic applications where the pool must be drained for relamping, and tunnels where maintenance requires halting or diverting traffic. It is often easy to match the higher initial cost of the Induction system with expedient payback. There may be several lighting solutions that fulfill the needs of the client. But by taking the total cost of PLEASE NOTE: Induction lamps are fragile and require care when handling; do NOT allow the glass to come in contact with metal objects. The amalgam glass can easily be broken. 11 BULB LAMP PROFILE BALLAST TEMPERATURE POINTS TEST POINT LOCATION RATED TEMPERATURE MAX TEMPERATURE 1 BALLAST: TC < 65 C (149 F) 65 C (149 F) 2 BALLAST: SIDE 1 < 65 C (149 F) 65 C (149 F) 3 BALLAST: SIDE 2 < 65 C (149 F) 65 C (149 F) 6 LAMP BASE (HEAT SINK) < 120 C (248 F) 120 C (248 F) 7 LAMP POWER COUPLER < 120 C (248 F) 130 C (266 F) 8 GLASS VESSEL C (131 F) C (257 F) 125 C (257 F) AMALGAM TIP 10 POWER COUPLER < 140 C (284 F) 1 C (302 F) WIRE RATING 11 GLASS VESSEL < 1 C (302 F) 1 C (356 F) PLASTIC SLEEVE 12 GLASS VESSEL < 140 C (284 F) 1 C (302 MAX DIAMETER 13 WIRE CONNECTOR < 105 C (221 F) 105 C (221 F) X.10" BULB LAMP Model No. H (in) W (in) ØX (in) Input Wire L (in)* PM-B35W5K PM-BW5K PM-BW5K PM-BW5K PM-B120W5K PM-B165W5K PM-B200W5K PM-G2W5K** C For the 165 W-2W the amalgam is located to the side of the lamp, instead of the center of the lamp (test point #8a). 3 1 W.03" Lamp H.10" Input Current MODEL# Watts Rated Initial (AMP) 120V-277V Input Power Efficacy Luminance (LM) PM-BP35 5K PM-BP 5K PM-BP 5K PM-BDS 5K PM-BP 5K PM-BDS 5K PM-BP120 5K PM-BP165 5K PM-BDS165 5K PM-BP200 5K PM-BDS200 5K PM-GDS2 5K INDUCTION LIGHT ENGINE SPECIFICATIONS: Luminance Main.

4 ownership into account (energy, maintenance, and investment/amortization), the choice of Induction system becomes clear in monetary terms. COLOR TEMPERATURE Degrees Kelvin is a temperature measurement as commonly understood. But in the context of color temperature it can be misleading, since that expression refers to the spectral quality of the color emitted by the lamp -- not the bulb s hotness, chill or color saturation. That quality of light, described in Kelvin (K), ranges from yellowish soft white at the low end (standard household bulbs); through brite white (big retail store lighting); to daylight at the upper (bluish-white) end. The lower the K ( ) the warmer the light quality; the higher the K the cooler as it rises to the blue end of the spectrum (00+K). Induction lamps are offered in a wide variety of color temperatures by adjusting the phosphor coating applied to the inside of the lamp s glass tube.
