Benefits of Induction Lighting against LED's?

[eveares]

Just wondering what benefits is their of induction lighting these days and why do some buildings use it, such as the Philips induction lighting that is used to light up the faces of the Great Clock of the palace of Westminster (Aka Big Ben).

The article below lists several benefits of induction lighting compared to Metal Halide, but how about Induction lighting compared to LED's. Of course you have the cost and the practicality of upgrading to LED's should that be an option.

Whoever made that list obviously couldn't actually think of 10 reasons. No 6 and no 8 are the same reason just worded differently

So is 7, I think.

I used to be a big fan of the GE Genura lamp, when it looked like this:

but not since they changed the design to this:

Then there's this technology.

Which may appear in European format/voltage some day.

What exactly is this technology? ....

Electron Stimulated Luminescence™ (ESL) Lighting Technology is an entirely new, energy efficient lighting technology. It uses accelerated electrons to stimulate phosphor to create light, making the surface of the bulb “glow”.

...seems to be describing a cathode ray tube!

Is anyone else doing this, as that site appears abandoned, the last news update on the site and their twitter account was 4 years ago.

Doesn't appear particularly useful, as their only product is a 19.5W, 500 lumen lamp - only 25 lumens/watt which is exceptionally poor compared to LED.
