    Humen vision
    		Retina consists of rod and cone cells .
    		Cone cells are adapted to detect colors and function in bright light.
    		Human retina contains about 6 million cone cells.
    		Rod cells are more sensitive, but do not detect color as well, adapted for low light .
    Human retina contains about 125 million rod cells, more sensitive to blue & relatiVELy insensitive to waVELengths about 640 nm (red)

    Photopic vS. Scotopic vision

    Scotopic vision
    		Monochromatic or night vision.
    		Response curves used in light meter does not take Scotopic vision into account .

    Photopic vision
    		Human vision under well lit conditions .
    		Response curves used in light meter is set to the spectral sensitivity of Photopic vision .
     
    Scotopic / Photopic Ratio
    		The ratio of the Scotopic light vs. the Photopic light is called the S/P ratio .
    		Determines the apparent visual brightness of a light source.
    		The S/P ratio of a lamp is important .
      -Provides a number which can be used to multiply the output reading of a lamp using conventional meter to determine how much light is useful to the human eye (visually Effective Lumen) a lamp produces .
     
    S / P Example
    		S/P ratio of LPS (SOX) lamp is 0.35, because lamp is almost monochromatic, produces its vast majority of light in the yellow region .

    Comparison of Ultra Tech Lamps with HID
    		UltraTech Induction Lighting lamps are scotopically enhanced, therefore appear brighter to the eye and enhance visual acuity .


    120W SOX vs 120W UltraTech Induction Lighting
    		120w Sodium (140 Lumens/W), vs 120w UltraTech Induction Lighting (80 Lumens/W) lamps .
      -120w LPS: 120w x 140L/W = 16,800x0.35=5,880 lumens of light useful to human vision.
    		The S/P ratio of a lamp is important .
      -Provides a number which can be used to multiply the output reading of a lamp using conventional meter to determine how much light is useful to the human eye (visually Effective Lumen) a lamp produces .
    -120wUltraTech Induction Lighting: 120 x 80L/W = 10,200 x 1.96 = 18,816 lumens of light useful to human vision -X3 useful light for the same amount of energy not counting generator consumption
    		This is the reason why we can use lower wattage UltraTech Induction Lighting Lamps to achieve same or better results with 50%+ energy savings .

    400W SOX vS.200W UltraTech Induction Lighting
    		400w MH x 54.6 L/W = 21,840 L x 1.49 = 32,541 useful lumens .
    		200w x 81 L/W = 16,200 L x 1.96 = 31,752 useful lumens.
     
    Introducing Ultra-Efficient Lighting from Ultra-Tech™
     
    Here’s how you can reduce high intensity lighting costs by as much as 80%! The all-new ingenious Ultra-Tech™ lamps combine fluorescent technology with magnetic induction coils wrapped around part of the containment tube. High frequency energy from its electronic ballast traVELs through a coil around a ferrite inductor, producing a very strong magnetic field that excites mercury* atoms to emit Uv light. An inside phosphor coating converts the Uv into visible light. (*The mercury is 100% recyclable.).
    The system acts like a transformer with the inductor as the primary coil, while mercury atoms form a single turn secondary coil. Electrical energy is coupled through the glass wall to excite the mercury atoms.

    A variation of this technology uses a light bulb shaped glass lamp with a test tube shaped centre cavity. The enVELope is phosphor coated on the inside and filled with inert gas plus some mercury when the recyclable amalgam is activated. The induction coil is wound around a shaft inserted into the central cavity that is excited by high frequency energy provided by external electronic ballast.

    This produces an exceptionally long life span since there are no internal electrodes. Extremely high energy conversion from the high frequency electronic ballasts yields 98% efficiency. This translates into monumental cost savings approaching 80% in both energy and maintenance costs when compared to comparable lamps.

    Like conventional fluorescent lamps, varying the phosphor coating provides different color temperatures. Ultra-Tech™ lamps require correctly matched electronic ballasts for proper operation. Ballasts rectify incoming AC voltage [or DC voltage in the case of 12 and 24v ballasts] while solid state circuitry converts this DC current to a very high frequency between 2.65 and 13.6 MHz (depending on lamp). This high frequency feeds the coil wrapped around the inductor’s ferrite core, creating a strong magnet field in the inductor. This couples the energy through the glass and into the mercury atoms inside the tube.

    Ballasts control circuitry regulates the frequency and current to the induction coil to insure stable lamp operation. In addition, a circuit produces a large “start pulse” to instantly ionize mercury atoms on start-up.  Although Ultra-Tech™ lamps do not start at 100% output, it only takes a few seconds for mercury bearing amalgam to heat up and release atoms.  Microprocessor controlled ballast circuits operate near 98% efficiency, resulting in approximately 2% energy loss compared with 10­% to 15% wasted in traditional “core and coil” designs.

    Ultra-Tech™ lamps are rated at 100,000 hours with over 50% energy savings, and the same or better CRI lumen. The ultra-strong lamp tube is made of hard silicon glass with a melting point of 1600 degrees Celsius. The IC Ballast is internationally patented and is more intelligent, smaller, lighter and longer lasting than conventional electronic ballasts. The design is more stable and engineered to last 5-7 times longer than conventional electronic ballasts.

    The internationally patented magnetic loop technology has superior stability and is better shielded from electromagnetic interference. The ballasts are certified for Canada and the United States (UL, UL-C). File number E258867. Lamps and ballasts are designed to operate in temperatures between -40 C to +50 C.

    A Range of Types and Wattages
    		Separate lamp and ballast style, round shaped (TX) are available in: 40W, 80W, 120W and 200W.
    		Separate lamp and ballast style, a rectangular shaped (MX) from: 40W, 80W, 120W, 200W.
    		Compact style combined lamp and ballast (220 volt only) available in low wattages of 10W, 23W and 40W.

    Lamps are engineered with no electrode to last over 11 years operating 24 hours per day. The Color Rendering Index (CRI) is above 90 with color temperatures of 3500k to 4100k. The higher CRI makes objects look bright, clear and natural. When the luminous efficiency is above 80Lm/W, color rendering is perfect. It is easier to differentiate colors with a higher CRI
    		 
    Ownership Costs
    Total ownership costs include capital, energy, and maintenance costs. Ultra-Tech™’s induction lamp technology is engineered to last 100,000 hours or 11 years while metal halide lamp technology lasts only 20,000 hours or 1.56 years. Metal halide lamp systems would be changed 5 times in same 11 years using Ultra-Tech™ technology. Typical return on investment ranges from 1 to 5 years depending on the project and energy costs.
