If you use xenon lamps, you are paying twice the cost of Solarc to get the same bright white light. You are also paying a price for inefficiency—xenon lighting units are larger and more complex, driving up system costs. Still not convinced? Read on—here are several added advantages that Solarc has to offer:
| • |
A Solarc lamp retains 70% of its original lumen at the end of their lifetime, compared to xenon’s lumen maintenance measurement of only 50%. |
| • |
Solarc provides twice the lamp lifetime of xenon, meaning less maintenance and decreased equipment downtime. |
| • |
Xenon’s power system is more complicated than the Solarc system, driving up the illumination system cost. |
| • |
Solarc has a more favorable cost to light ratio—twice the light for half the cost, compared to xenon. |
| • |
Solarc is three times more efficient than xenon, requiring only one-third the power to generate the same degree of brightness. |
| • |
Solarc lighting operates on a cool, energy efficient 60 watts, compared to the 180, or even 300, watts used by xenon lamps. Less heat and vibration means better performance and lower operating costs. |
| • |
Solarc’s reduced heat decreases the required cooling fan size so Solarc fans are quieter than xenon fans. |
