Energy Saving Controls for HID
Lighting Systems
PowerSavertm Control Technology
PowerSavertm technology is designed to conserve energy and reduce maintenance costs in High Intensity Discharge (HID) lighting systems. Flexible software architecture enables PowerSavertm to be used in applications from street lighting to industrial, parking lot and “yard” operations. Lamp types supported include Mercury Vapor (MV), Metal Halide (MH) and High Pressure Sodium (HPS) of 70-2000 Watts.
PowerSavertm technology is also available for application without the illumination management feature. This product is used where all other features (described below) are desired, and where reducing illumination is not appropriate. Installation of PowerSavertm technology without illumination management reduces maintenance costs by approximately 50% while reducing energy consumption by approximately 10%. A daylight- and ground-visible device on the fixture indicates streetlight malfunctions.

PowerSavertm conserves energy by a number of innovations, including automatically adjusting HID illumination to customer requirements or applicable standards. High Power Factors are maintained. To accommodate varying customer needs or applicable standards, illumination can be adjusted to levels between 90% of full brightness and 25% of full brightness. Overall energy consumption is reduced by up to 40%. Adjustments for season of year (day length) and geographic location are automatic.
PowerSavertm technology and products are programmable, automatic, and autonomous (or connected) once installed in HID lighting fixtures; they become “install, save and ignore” members of your efficiency team. They are programmed to manage illumination to comply with customer needs or applicable lighting standards, and require no further adjustment in the field. PowerSavertm products are designed to last for the rated service life of the fixture.
If desired, PowerSavertm technology will completely shut off HID lamps during specified hours. In this application, whole sections of an HID lighting system can be shut down (e.g., after midnight, or during peak load hours) where appropriate. Alternatively, they can be programmed so that every other lamp is turned off at the specified time, and the remainder reduced, for an even greater energy savings.
