Dual-Level Induction Lighting Fixtures

AVAILABLE IN LATE Q2 OF 2011

Garage/Canopy Lights:
    Our first dual-level product is a Garage/Canopy light which offers up to 75% savings on energy and maintenance costs compared to a conventional 150W HPS fixture!

• Die cast aluminium housing with powder coated finish for corrosion-resistance and UV stabilized, polycarbonate lens.
• IP 65 rating suitable for installation in damp locations such as parking garages or under canopies.
• Models to replace 150W High Pressure Sodium and 175W Metal Halide fixtures.
• 75% Energy and maintenance cost savings over 150W HPS fixtures!
• Equipped with energy efficient, high light output, magnetic induction lamp with excellent colour-rendering (CRI=82)
• 5 Year warrantee:  Main Induction lamp has an expected lifespan of 95,000~100,000 hours of operation; low-wattage standby lamp has an expected lifespan of 55,000 hours of operation.
• Electronic ballast features high power factor (CosPhi of 0.98 to 0.95) and is flicker free.
• Instant on and instant re-start (hot re-strike).
• Ambient temperature for lighting fixture:-30C~+40C.

Applications:

• Parking garages, gas stations, warehouses, stairwells, schools, factories, exterior walkways, washrooms, workshops, breezeways, etc.

Q: What makes GreenTech lighting fixtures different from others I have seen?
A:  Our fixtures use a patent-pending dual lamp design with a 360 degree sensor.  Since people are afraid of the dark (to a greater or lesser degree), the fixture operates in a low-wattage mode continuously providing a low level of lighting so that people do not have to enter a darkened space.  Once the sensor detects human activity, it instantly turns on the high-wattage mode to provide normal light levels.  This approach saves energy as the fixtures are using minimal power when the space is unoccupied, and only use full power when people are present and the light is needed.

Q:  I have lights like this on my tennis court!
A:  No you don't!  Just because you have a bight, white light, square fixture that looks like ours, does not mean it uses our high efficiency, long lifespan, patent pending technology.  What you probably have is a Metal Halide light that will last 10,000 hours of operation and which is probably using 150~155% more power than a GreenTech fixture to produce the same light levels.  You will have to replace the lamp in your tennis court light 8 to 10 times before you have to replace ours once.

Q:  I have seen other lighting fixtures that get brighter when a sensor turns them on... How are those different from GreenTech fixtures?
A:  Those fixtures are using a "step dimming" approach.  Due to the limitations of conventional lighting technology, high intensity discharge (HID) lamps generally can only dim to around 50% of full output.  Even the induction lamp based fixtures with "step dimming" can only dim to 50% of full output.  Those fixtures uses a lamp that is dimmed in standby mode and then comes up to full brightness when needed - this only reduces the power consumption by around 50% when the fixture is in standby mode.  Sometimes these fixtures are controlled in zones or banks so that a number of lights step to full power when triggered by the sensor. 
Our fixtures use a high efficiency lamp reducing power consumption by 87% when in standby mode.  With high wattage mode in use as needed (only 50% of the time on average - 50% duty cycle), power savings are over 75%!  Each GreenTech fixture is individually controlled for further savings so that only the lights needed are turned on to full power.

Q:  How do GreenTech fixtures save on maintenance costs?
A:  We use long lifespan and energy efficient Induction lamps as our primary light source.  With a conversion factor of 74~85 Lumens/Watt, the lamps produce more light with less energy thus saving money.  The 95,000~100,000 hour lifespan of the main lamp means it will last 10 years reducing the frequency of re-lamping and saving on maintenance costs - present technology requires more frequent re-lamping.

Q:  What are the energy costs and savings from a GreenTech fixture if I had a parking garage where there are 100 lights in operation 24/7?
A:  The table below gives a comparison of the annual costs of operation and maintenance of 175W Metal Halide (MH) fixture, a 150W High Pressure Sodium (HPS) fixture, a 175W Metal Halide lighting fixture using "step dimming" (MH S-D) and our patent-pending technology GreenTech parking garage fixture:

Q:  But it costs money to install GreenTech  fixtures... What is the payback?
A:  The energy and maintenance cost savings of 75% (or more) on GreenTech fixtures is so high, that it is possible to get a bank loan to install the lights and to repay the principal and interest from the power savings and still have money left over!  The typical payback period is around 36 months with power cost of $0.125 kWh - the higher your power cost, the faster the payback.

Dual-level Fixtures Catalogue will be available in March 2011
