The attraction to induction lighting with most lighting specifiers is its remarkable long lamplife. In a fluorescent lamp, the electrodes at either end are the weakest link, and the lamp usually fails when the cathode coating on one of the electrodes is depleted after 15,000 to 20,000 hours. Induction lamps have no such electrodes, so their rated lifetimes are as long as 120,000 hours with good vibration resistance and low starting temperatures.  This emphasies creates the a best choice for industrial operating environments, commercial locations that require the lowest possible maintenance issues, and countless other lighting applications.
