What's old is new again

The basic technology for Litro Lighting is not particularly new. The principle of Litro Lighting was introduced to the world by the scientist Nicola Tesla in the 1800’s. Tesla once lit 200 lamps without wires from 25 miles away.

Litro lights are similar to fluorescent lights in that they use gasses, which once ‘excited’, react with the phosphor that coats the tubes to produce white light.

Unlike fluorescent lamps, Litro Lighting systems are rated at 100,000 hours. This is because fluorescent lamps must use electrodes, which degrade with time, to ‘excite’ the gasses inside of the tube. Litro Lighting does not use electrodes but instead uses the principle of Induction (the transmission of energy by way of magnetic field). Think of it as wireless lighting!

Although Litro lighting systems come in different shapes and sizes, the operating principles are essentially the same. They all include a ballast, a power coupling and a glass lamp housing which is called the discharge bulb.

Characteristics of Litro Lighting
