LIGHTING TECHNOLOGY

Lunasea Fluorescent — Lighting for Life

The first and only truly dimmable, energy-saving fluorescent lighting available on the market today. The longest life of any lights — 30,000 hours of life.

Incandescent lights

Lighting is almost a byproduct. Incandescent lights waste approximately 95% of the power created to generate light, which is consumed as heat. Only 5% of the energy created goes toward lighting your environment. You're not paying for lights, your paying for heat.

Introducing the world's most energy-efficient lights

Lunasea Lighting offers a smart alternative to energy wasting incandescent lights Our lights incorporate CCFL (Cold-Cathode Fluorescent Lights) into easy-to-install lighting systems that offer:

1. High brightness, High-efficiency, low power consumption and long life
2. Excellent vibration and impact resistance
3. Quick start at low temperature
4. Durable and excellent blinking characteristics.
5. Small size and light weight
6. Environmentally friendly
7. Build in Features such as dimming and auto turn-off

Lunasea lights are designed to exacting standards using only the highest quality components.

HOW IT WORKS

Cold-Cathode Fluorescent Lights

The Cold-Cathode Fluorescent Light (CCFL) is one of the newest forms of energy-saving compact fluorescent lamps (CFL). CCFL's are much smaller in size then traditional CFL (typical home fluorescent) lights. CCFLs use electrodes without a filament. The voltage of CCFL lamps is about 5 times higher than CFL lamps and the current is about 10 times lower. CCFL lamps have a diameter of about 2.4 millimeters (inches too); they are used in LCD monitors and now general lighting.

CCFL lamp life is about 30,000 hours

Unlike traditional fluorescent's life of 6000-7000 hours the CCFL lamp will last around 30,000. At 30,000 hours the lamp reaches what is called half life, meaning the lamp is producing half the light it originally produced new. Even at 30,000 hours the lamp will continue to work albeit not as bright. It won't leave you stuck in the dark.

Digitally dimmable CCFL

Besides being compact, energy efficient, and having long life Lunasea Fluorescents are dimmable. Traditional fluorescent lights require expensive electronics to allow dimming capabilities. At best the dimming range is mediocre and requires additional wiring, coupled with the fact that they are often not aesthetically pleasing.

Lunasea fluorescents can be digitally dimmed using a PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) as low as 5%. This allows you to adjust the lighting to meet the need but to save energy as well.CCFLÕs turn on much faster in cold weather then traditional fluorescents and produce less heat when running. With environmental concerns becoming more important the CCFL lamp uses only a minute amount of Mercury to run meeting the exemption status of Europe's ROHS.

CCFL Lamp

The cold-cathode fluorescent lamp (CCFL) belongs to the gas discharge lamp family. CCFL is a light source classified as an electronic component. In the field of radiant energy makes phosphor lighting.

Inside the phosphor coated glass tube, there are rare gases and a slight amount of mercury. By the reason of high electric field between two ends, a few electrons will hit electrodes. Then more and more electrons come out, as a result of this, gas discharge occurs. Mercury atoms will emit 253.7 nm ultraviolet rays.
