| These high-traffic
areas need lights on for extended periods of time, and need
a stable light distribution for the duration of the lamps typical
life. Since HID lamps "season" and suffer from
LLD (Lamp Lumen Depreciation) the lighting scheme usually has
to account for the lower end performance of the lamps. This
means that when new lamps are installed they over-light the
area for the first few thousand hours of operation, and then
provide the proper amount of light for a few thousand hours.
After that, for more than half their rated life, they provide
inadequate light. The Electra stabilizes the light output of
the lamps, reducing the luminosity of a new lamp to minimize
over-lighting, and improving the luminosity of the lamps for
the majority of the lamp’s life. In addition, the life
of these lamps exceeds the rated life by up to 40%! See
luminosity chart. The Electra compliments existing EMS
systems. Where EMS
systems save money by turning your lights off whenever practical,
the Electra saves you money when the lights are ON!
