If We didn't make it better, we'd be the same - so we made it better

Compare the photo comparison below of Empire Lighting Resources VIZ-A-LITE High Vision Fluorescent Cathode coil (magnified many times) with other lamp manufactures. Pictured are three cathodes with cathode guards removed.

Empire Lighting Resources Cathode with “The cathode Advantage”. A 50% longer coil with more area for emitter material. This gives VIZ-A-LITE lamps a 44,000 hour life compared to the competitors 10,000-20,000 hour life. It’s manufactured with uniformly applied emitter material for a composition that reduces end banding.



Standard Cathode A. Short cathode, with substantially less emitter material.



Standard Cathode B. known as a “Stick Cathode” with an uneven coating of emitter material. The emitter material is applied in a hap hazard way (old technology) that will cause the material to spatter on the lamp wall.

“VIZ-A-LITE” High Vision Lamps.  The combination of quality and the latest technology!
