QL Induction Lighting was first introduced and
marketed in 1992 to offer state of the art technology.
For QL Induction Lighting the most important
to 50% of the lamp power
QL Induction Lighting is a proven and smart
technology that does not make use of any
electrodes. This specific functional design reduces
the wear and tear of the luminaire hardware. It
creates a significant improvement of the product
life time and at the same time it offers a superior
reliability when compared to other lighting systems.
Such a feature makes QL Induction Lighting Systems
stand out in comparison to any other lighting
systems. Due to a virtually maintenance free
performance it is the ideal and dependable solution
for hazardous and hard-to-reach applications.
In addition, QL Induction Lighting is a safe and
professional choice that has been made for many
applications world­w ide. The range of different light
colors, lamp wattages and stepless dimming makes
it a leading lighting solution. That is why you should
choose the innovative QL Induction Lighting System.

QL Induction Lighting testing
During the development and introduction we have
tested our QL components in every detail. We
use modern equipment and testing procedures
that comply with US and EU law. New product
design is put through a series of tests for highly
accelerated life testing and stress tests in order to
maximize the product reliability and life time. Our
manufacturing locations comply with the latest
regulations and standards for the electronics and
lighting industry and use rigid specifications for all
QL Induction Lighting products.
QL Lighting has an ignition time of < 0.5 seconds
and its hot-restrike time is similar. The QL lamp
has a flicker-free ignition in both cold and hot
conditions. The minimum temperature for ignition
is tested at -13°F / -25°C. This QL Induction Lighting
technology has qualified for electromagnetic
compatibility, EMC. This specific EMC certification
is important when using QL Lighting in areas
where interference with other electromagnetic
technology is unacceptable.
