Induction lamp performance comparing MHT Lighting and other companies
| Compare Item | MHT Lighting | Other Companies |
|---|---|---|
| Lamp Performance | ||
| Starting | Using special methods (adding some material mixed with a buffer gas) to improve the igniting performance in dark position. | Difficulty igniting the lamp in dark position. |
| Amalgam Position | Uses bent amalgam tip shape to prevent the amalgam going into the lamp when it melts. | Some application (when amalgam melts) the amalgam will go into the lamp tupe, damaging the lamp. |
| LLD | Uses special ratio of Japanese phosphor powder and coating technology to get a good LLD performance. | Uses domestic products and inconsistent colors (CCT). |
| Magnetic core heat sink equipment | The power coupler has a large surface area for the heat sink (dentation shape), to prevent the magnetic core failure due to high temperatures. | Have not found reports at this time. |
| Amalgam tip cover | The amalgam tip can have a cap to maintain the amalgam temperature for stability in a wide range of ambient temperature operations; for lower temperatures. | Not an option. |
| Ballast Performance | ||||||
| Soft Switching |
|
|
||||
| Reliability | The improved lamp igniting performance, with lower voltage, reduces the risk of damage during the igniting phase. | Have not found reports at this time. | ||||
| Lighting Protection | With 3 MOV (20KA current sink), it can protect the ballast from damage by lightning (3KA / 5KV). | Have not found reports at this time. | ||||
| Lamp Power Dimming Function | The burst dimming method has been used, the lumen efficiency can be maintained constant when dimming. | No dimming function. | ||||
| Generator (Ballast) Protection | Surge protection, in-rush current protection, and proper thermal management extends the ballast life time. | Very few ballast companies provide the required protection because of costs. | ||||
| The complete luminaire is designed and produced in same factory. | MHT company designed and produced the whole induction lamp fixture system (including lamp tube, ballast and fixture) so they know how the ballast matches the lamp performance, the fixture and how to match the amalgam temperature inside the lamp to get more light output during real applications. With the specially designed fixture, the ballast housing can contact the fixture surface to get a good heat sink for the ballast running. | Lamp tube, Ballast and Fixture are made separate and can not match each other in good status. | ||||
| Dimming Control Method | ||
| Dimming Method | MHT has 4 options for induction lamp dimming control (remote or integral control,ROAM enabled wireless controls, and 0-10V analog control method). It can meet different application requirements. The PWM dimming method can maintain the induction lamp lumen efficiency during dimming. | Using frequency modulation for dimming, the lumen efficiency will drop down during dimming. |
| Type of Lamp Shape | ||
| Ball Type | MHT (12W – 400W), 12, 24, 40 watt self ballasted, 35W & 55Watt lamp with E39 or E26 base /remote ballast. | 12W-200W |
| Square Tubular Type | MHT (40W – 400W) | 40W – 200W |
| Round Tubular Type | MHT (40W – 300W) | 40W – 200W |
