Induction lamp VS LED

 No.1

Induction lighting was invented in 1891 by Nikola Tesla, is proven and established as energy efficient and refined. (Nikola Tesla also invented ac current).

LED high bay lighting is still under technical revision and unproven in high power lighting applications.
 

 No.2

Induction lighting has a rated life of up to 100,000 hours.

LED high bay lighting has a rated life of up to 50,000 hours.

 No.3

  Induction lighting has broad product choices.

 LED high bay lighting has limited product choices

 No.4

Induction lighting is as cost effective as a new purchase or refit with a 1 – 2 year ROI when considering energy and maintenance costs.

LED high bay lighting is energy efficient but with a 2 – 3 year ROI (currently costs nearly twice as much as induction).

 No.5

Induction lighting has a high CRI (colour rendering index) of >80 improving vision recognition.

LED high bay lighting has a CRI of >70.

 No.6

Induction lighting can maintain a stable output in temperatures ranging from -25°C to +50°C

LED high bay lighting has a reduced output (lumen depreciation) above 25°C (most lights are that hot in an enclosed fixture with just spring/summer ambient temperature).

 No.7

 Induction lighting has product standardisation.

LED high bay lighting has no standardisation in its technology as yet.

 No.8

  Induction lighting has a 5 year warranty.

LED high bay lighting typically has a 3 year warranty.

 No.9

Induction lighting has an efficiency rating of up to 96 lumens per watt (compared to 100W street lamp).

LED high bay lighting has an efficiency rating of 80- 100 lumens per watt (135W street lamp).

 No.10

Induction lighting is specially designed with a wide light dispersion for large scale area lighting.

LED high bay lighting is designed with a narrow beam angle for direct/spot lighting. It has many LED chips to create the effect of area lighting, which is expensive to make and more vulnerable to premature technical failures.
