Abstract There is an increasing interest in using new lighting technologies such as light emitting diode (LED), Induction, and Plasma light sources in roadway lighting. The most commonly claimed benefits of the new lighting systems include increased reliability, improved efficiency, and reduced maintenance costs. While Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) is also getting a lot of interest from vendors pushing the new light sources for roadway lighting applications, none of these new lighting technologies has been used in the state highway systems by INDOT. Before adopting the new lighting technologies, INDOT would like to determine if the new lighting technologies meet required light output and if they are cost effective. Moreover, it is necessary for INDOT to establish standardized guidelines for evaluating the new lighting systems prior to the formal adoption. This study first conducted literature reviews on the new lighting technologies. Surveys were also conducted to identify the perceptions of state highway agencies and local cities towards the new lighting technologies including LED, Induction, and Plasma, and their experiences in use of these new lighting technologies. Various luminaires, including HPS, LED, Plasma, and Induction luminaires from different manufacturers were installed and evaluated for both conventional and high mast lightings at a test site over a period of 12 months. Illuminance measurements were made to determine the light levels and illuminance uniformities produced by those LED, Plasma and Induction luminaires with the existing lighting infrastructures. Comparisons were also made between the light performances produced by different luminaires. Electric currents were measured to determine the energy consumptions by different luminaires. Life cycle cost analysis was also conducted to determine if the new lighting sources are cost‐effective compared to the corresponding HPS lighting sources and assess the possible return or payback periods for the LED, Plasma, and Induction luminaires evaluated in this study. Illuminance measurements were also made for two urban street lightings to map the light performances of LED and Plasma luminaires with different lighting layouts. Main findings and recommendations were made to assist INDOT Traffic Engineering in upgrading the lighting policies and developing technical specifications for adopting the new lighting technologies. 17.

These components are housed within a light fixture (a.k.a. luminaire). The Potential Benefits of Light Emitting Plasma luminaire also includes an optical assembly to distribute the light produced by the lamp. Light Emitting Plasma offers the following advantages over conventional high intensity discharge lamps: • Better reliability: conventional metal halide lamps require electrodes within the arc tube. These electrodes are usually made of tungsten and require a mechanical seal - which can lead to premature lamp failure. As the tungsten degrades, it darkens the walls of the lamp and reduces the light output. • Rapid start: 45 seconds to reach 80% of full brightness LEP System Components Source: LUXIM • Faster re-strike: when the power is turned off to high • Lamp: consists of a very small intensity discharge lamps Source: LUXIM quartz tube (3/4” long), which (e.g.

Qiu1 11Harbin Institute of Technology, 92, West Dazhi Street, Nan Gang District, Harbin, China 2 Kharkiv National University of Radio Electronics, 14, Nauky Ave., 61166, Kharkiv, Ukraine [email protected] Keywords: microwave heating, magnetron, electrodeless sulfur lamp, plasma, microwave excitation 1. Introduction For more than 50 years, interest to the microwave heating technology has not weakened. In addition to the traditional areas of its application, which described in detail in [1], recently there has been an expansion of technological possibilities for the use of microwave energy associated with the impact of electromagnetic waves of the microwave range on various materials (sintering of metal and ceramic powders) and media, including plasma [2]. One such new direction is the creation of high-power and environmentally friendly sources of optical radiation on the basis of the electrodeless sulfur lamp with microwave excitation [2, 3]. As it is known, Michael Ury and his associates at Fusion Systems invented this radically new lamp in 1990, but the lamp was not ideal because of the complexity of its design [4]. Therefore, it was not put into production. However, every year the scientific interest was growing. An analysis of scientific publications shows that every 5 years a new country is joined to this issue. Now more than in 10 countries of all would including USA, Great Britain, South Korea, Netherlands, Germany, Russia, and so on where there are research teams that are carried out an investigation concerning the electrodeless lamps with microwave excitation.

  • New Induction and Plasma Lighting Technologies Proven Superior to LED for Streetlighting and High Lumen Applications
    New Induction and Plasma Lighting Technologies proven Superior to LED for Streetlighting and High Lumen Applications Both Induction lamp and LEP (Light Emitting Plasma) technologies offer significant advantages over LED fixtures for streetlighting and high lumen applications with superior cost savings, longevity and performance Cities and muncipalities across the U.S. are seeking to replace inefficient lighting for streetlighting and public buildings to save energy and reduce operating costs. Similarly, commercial businesses, factories, large retail stores, warehouses, airports, convention centers, and parking facilities are looking to upgrade or replace their lighting systems for energy and maintenance savings. Typically 40% or more of the energy usage for municipalities, businesses and institutions is consumed by lighting. While the popularity of LED lighting increases for many applications, LED is not the best solution when high light levels are needed. Decline of the Realm of HID Lighting For decades, applications requiring high light levels have been the realm of high intensity discharge (HID) lighting fixtures. Street and highway lighting, parking lots, bridges & tunnels, stadiums, transportation facilities and other large outdoor areas are typically illuminated with HID fixtures. Warehouses, factories, parking garages, shopping malls, and high ceiling indoor applications also typically use HID lighting. Generally, high pressure sodium (HPS) lamps are utilized for streetlighting and industrial applications due to their efficiency and 24,000 hour life. But HPS exhibits poor color with a yellowish cast. Metal halide lamps, with whiter color rendering are used for most HID applications, but possess shorter lamp life, usually around 10,000 hours. All HID lamps employ an electrode to ignite gasses contained within the bulb envelope, and require a ballast for start-up and voltage regulation.
