Induction Light Fixture
Hydrofarm’s induction lights are similar to fluorescent lights in that they use gases, which, once “excited,” react inside the tubes to produce white light. Unlike fluorescent lamps, induction systems are rated at 100,000 hours. This is because fluorescent lamps must use electrodes to excite the gases inside the tube, whereas induction lamps use the principle of induction—the transmission of energy by way of magnetic field.
