Re: Ceravision

Vic,

My recollectionof th elife of the sulfur lamp system (10,000 hours dues to magnetron)confirms yours FWIW.

Hi,

What do you folks think of this:

http://www.ceravision.com/

Well, they say "more than twice as efficient, but don't give
data.

They say "lasts forever" but do not give data.

I wonder what the life of the magnetron/microwave source is? That always seems to be the limiting factor.


The life of the Fusion Lighting sulfur lamp system was
always limited by the life of the magnetron. I don't want
to quote an incorrect number, so all I will say is that my
recollection was that the life of the magnetron was
significantly less than 10,000 hours.


They say "no toxics" but do not tell us what is inside.

Thulium, thallium, dysprosium etc......the usual candidates as found in CDM/HCI/CDM burners?


This lamp may use sulfur. I'll have to check further.
