These areas usually need to have their lights on all night. The long hours of operation make the Electra a perfect energy efficiency solution. In some cases, our clients have wanted the luminosity reduced because, although they are required to have lighting, the minimum luminosity requirement is lower. In these cases, the energy savings are near 36%. 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!
