Induction street light at Restore!
|
Here is a shell of an AEL 125 with a Philips QL 165w lamp and gear installed. I didn't buy it because the price would give ya a heart attack, it is $100! Also it is 208v so I can't light it easily. The plastic under the induction lamp base looks yellowed so it is obviously used. The lamp can be removed with a half twist, gonna remove it carefully so to not damage the long exhaust tube. The exhaust tube has a piece of long metal that receives the electrons from the copper windings that surround the tube when the lamp is installed. i suppose it is called the antenna. The driver unit is pretty small, like 3 inches wide and 5 inches long. The fixture feels pretty light without the heavy magnetic ballast found in HID versions!

Anyway Philips does not produce these lamps, the activity was sold to QL Company.
