A product called "Induction Lighting" can reduce lighting electricity consumption by 30% to 50%, and has a life expectancy of 100,000 hours, and is more environmentally responsible than conventional lighting.

"Induction Lighting" was introduced by the major lighting manufacturers about 10 years ago. The uniqueness of this product is that the lamps do not operate with a filament or electrode. Conventional filament lighting has a life expectancy of up to 7,000 hours. According to manufacturers, some induction lighting products can last up to 100,000 hours which equates to over 10 years for many users.
