As the green initiatives of companies continue to gain momentum businesses are often required to select one of two lighting technologies for indoor lighting.  While induction lighting have numerous benefits over all commercial lighting this article will focus on the health advantages of using Tri R Lighting Induction lights over Fluorescent. 

Our induction lamp contains solid amalgam mercury versus the highly volatile liquid mercury found in other lighting products.   This eliminates the high levels of mercury being added to the environment by disposed fluorescent lights as well as eliminates the possibility of mercury poisoning as a result of broken bulbs.  The solid mercury is contained in a small ample located just off to the side of the main bulb so in the event of a break or a bulb replacement, the ample simply needs to be broken off and mailed back to Tri R Lighting for recycling.  Even Compact fluorescent lamps which are commonly touted as a device to combat global warming can pose a small risk of mercury poisoning to infants, young children, and pregnant women if they break.  If a fluorescent lamp is broken, the mercury can contaminate the surrounding environment and poison its inhabitants. 99% of the mercury is typically contained in the phosphor (especially on lamps that are near their end of life).  Because of this, the safe cleanup of broken fluorescent bulbs requires extra care.  Using Tri R Lighting’s induction lights eliminates this issue.

Elimination of fluorescent lighting is appropriate for several conditions. In addition to causing headache and fatigue, and problems with light sensitivity, they are listed as problematic for individuals with epilepsy, lupus, chronic fatigue syndrome, and vertigo (related to cardiovascular problems, MS, and several other disorders).

Some people find the color rendition produced by some fluorescent lamps to be harsh and displeasing. A healthy person can sometimes appear to have an unhealthy skin tone under fluorescent lighting. The extent to which this phenomenon occurs is related to the light’s spectral composition, and may be gauged by its Color Rendering Index (CRI).  Tri R Lighting’s Induction lights have a color rendering index (CRI) above 80. The higher CRI makes objects look bright, clear and natural.
