Features:
-
Energy efficient,
direct replacement, for Incandescent and CFL lamps -
Replace a 100W incandescent with an 18W CIL™ bulb.
-
Lasts up
to 60 times longer than incandescent lamps, and 12 times
longer than Compact Fluorescent Lamps.
-
25 Year limited
warranty (estimated lifespan 60,000 hours).
-
Available
in Warm White and True White colour temperatures.
-
Electronic
ballast features high power factor (>0.90) to save energy
-
Environmentally
friendly with less than half the mercury of CFL lamps and
the mercury is in sold (amalgam) form to prevent contamination
in the case of accidental breakage.
Benefits:
-
SAVE ENERGY AND MONEY - Uses
about 80% less
energy than the incandescent lamps it replaces
-
LONG LIFESPAN - Save time and money on replacement
lamps
-
ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY - Flicker free, instant
on/instant re-start
-
EASY INSTALLATION -
Edison (E27) base - no need to change your fixtures

White colour temperatures. The CIL™ bulbs are more
energy efficient and cost less than LED lamps!
The CIL™ bulbs are available in
110V/60Hz models for the NAFTA market, and in 220V/50Hz
models (by special order) for other markets. The
standard models come with Edison (E27) base - we are

Why would I buy a
$30 Light Bulb?
While spending
$30 on a light bulb might seem like a lot of money, in the long
run the savings far outweigh the initial cost of the
lamp. To take some practical examples using average retail
prices:
- A 100W incandescent lamp costs
$0.50, and lasts for about 1,000 hours of operation on
average.
- A 26W CFL bulb (which can
replace the 100W incandescent bulb) costs $5.00 and lasts
for 6,000 hours of operation on average
 |
Over the
60,000 hour lifetime of one 18W Compact Induction Lamp (CIL™
bulb), you would have to purchase:
- 60 replacement Incandescent
lamps costing you approximately $30.00 or;
- 10 replacement CFL
lamps costing you about $50.00.
The cost of the CIL™
light-bulb pays for itself just in the money saved buying
replacement light bulbs.... not to mention the time and
effort saved going to the store for replacements!

| But
There's More...
Power Factor:
You are being robbed
by CFL lamps with high power factors - the hidden
electricity vampire. All electrical equipment
which incorporates a ballast or control circuitry,
wastes some energy in that ballast or control circuit.
The
Power Factor (Cos Phi) of an electrical device is a
measurement of how much work the device is doing with
the power it consumes - in this case light output from
the light-bulb.
|
- A 100W incandescent
lamp uses 100W of energy and has a power factor of
1.0 - 100% of the energy supplied to the lamp is
used to produce light (and heat).
- A 26W CFL bulb (which
can replace the 100W incandescent bulb) uses 30.5
watts of energy and has a Power Factor of 0.67 - almost
33% of the energy supplied to the lamp is wasted!
- An 18W CIL™ bulb (which
can replace a 100W incandescent bulb) uses 18.7
watts of energy and has a power factor of 0.9 - only
10% of the energy supplied to the lamp is wasted!
|

|
|
Energy Savings: The CIL™ bulbs also offers significant
energy savings. With the cost of electricity rising all
the time, reducing your power bill puts money in your pocket! |
 |
- A 100W incandescent lamp
consumes 100W of energy - no energy savings.
- A 26W CFL bulb (which can
replace the 100W incandescent bulb) consumes 30.5 watts of
power - an energy savings of only 69.5%
- An 18W CIL™ bulb (which can
replace the 100W incandescent bulb) consumes only 18.7 watts
of power - an energy savings of 81.3%
|
Quality of Light:
Many people complain they do not like the quality of light
produced by CFL lamps. This is because the CFL lamps
flicker 50 or 60 times a second (depending on the country you
are in). Our CIL™ lamps operate at Megahertz speeds giving
a smooth, even light output with NO flicker. Unlike
the "curly tube" CFL lamps, our CIL™ lamps are
light-bulb shaped, without the need for a light reducing
plastic cover, so they can easily be used with
clip-on lampshades.
Summary...
The
chart below summarizes the total cost of ownership of the CIL™
lamp over it's 60,000 hour lifetime showing you why a
$30.00 light bulb can save money on replacement lamp and
energy costs:
- Save $487.80 compared to
using 100W Incandescent lamps!
- Save $90.80 compared to 26W
CFL lamps!

Lamp
Comparison
The photo below shows a comparison of the screw-in lamp
technologies. On the left is a standard 100W incandescent
lamp; second from the left, a 26W "curly tube" Compact
Fluorescent lamp (CFL); Second from the right, an 18W "Warm
White" Compact Induction Lamp (CIL™ bulb); and on the right,
an 18W "True White" Compact Induction Lamp™
(CIL™ bulb).
-
The Brightness
of all of the lamps appears similar as the 18W Compact
Induction Lamps™ (CIL™ bulb) can replace the 100W incandescent
lamp while producing the equivalent light levels with an 81.3%
savings in energy use!
-
The colour temperature
of the Warm White 18W CIL™ lamp (3rd from left) most closely
matches the colour temperature of the incandescent lamp (far
left); while the "curly tube" CFL lamp (second
from left) appears more orange/pink than the incandescent
lamp (far left).
-
The "True
white" 18W CIL™ bulb (far right) provides a bright and pleasant
white light without the "cold" look typically seen
seen in the "Daylight" type CFL bulbs.
