Market Overview
For many years now, large companies have been under pressure to reduce power consumption and to help clean up our environment. Surprisingly, it is estimated that industrial, commercial and street lighting systems use roughly half of all power generated by utility companies, making them a prime target for energy reduction.

In addition, power shortages have driven energy costs up dramatically in the past year, forcing businesses to find ways to conserve power. This often means a major investment in energy saving technologies just to enable them to remain competitive in their marketplace.

Active ES helps businesses meet these challenges with an economical solution to energy savings without the need to modify existing lighting systems.


Active ES: a seasoned company with a proven product
More than 20 years ago, Mr. James Archdekin, vice president of Active ES, developed a new voltage control concept that dramatically reduces energy consumption used for industrial lighting purposes. Today, there are more than 700 units of this product in service across the country, including the South Coast Plaza and Crystal Court shopping malls in Costa Mesa, Calif.

For more than a decade, these systems have reduced energy consumed in lighting systems by approximately 20% to 25% without the need for expensive lighting modifications.

Archdekin has since added three new patented upgrades to the product, creating a more robust unit than can now save up to 36% of energy consumed in commercial, industrial and street lighting applications. He teamed with other executives in the formation of Active ES to introduce the new product, now known as Electra, on a nationwide basis.

Formed to create and market new energy saving devices, Active ES continues to respond to the needs of the industry by addressing specific lighting control needs as well as leading R&D efforts for power controllers in other energy saving applications.


Dramatic Energy Savings with Electra
Active ES’ Electra is a compact, simple-to-install power controller that can reduce energy consumption in lighting systems for industrial, commercial and municipal facilities by up to 36%. In addition, the product actually prolongs the lifespan of existing lamps and ballasts and is virtually maintenance free for up to 25 years.

Unlike alternative energy saving lighting systems such as compact fluorescents or electronic ballasts that require replacing or modifying each individual lighting fixture, Electra operates with fixtures that are already in place.

With a low up-front investment and virtually no maintenance required, Electra normally delivers payback within two years or less. Beyond this, companies enjoy additional profits through monthly savings in electricity and peace of mind knowing that they are doing their part to conserve power and reduce pollution to our environment.
