The Lux Lighting Controller
More Profits! Lower Electric and Maintenance Costs! Proven Savings!
The Lux Lighting Controller is the efficient way to reduce the energy cost of High Intensity Discharge (HID) lighting without impairing your operations, compromising safety, rebuilding your electrical system, or making unrealistic upfront investments. The Lux is a great way to improve energy efficiency, reduce heat loss, reduce operating costs and maximize profits.
The Lux unit is effective because it reduces the amount of electricity flowing from a lighting panel to the whole lighting circuit. HID lamps and fluorescent fixtures require more power to start than to keep burning. A lighting panel supplies the same high amount of power at all times, installing the Lux Lighting Controller reduces the power consumption after a few moments. **RESULTS** Reduced lighting cost, maintenance cost and decreased overhead, thereby improving the bottom line.

The Lux unit is a simple solution to lowering lighting energy consumption up to 20% or more.

The Lux works with HID and fluorescent lighting systems. HID Lighting includes Metal Halide (MH), High Pressure Sodium (HPS) and Mercury Vapor (MV) lamps. HID lighting is a huge market that has been completely ignored by energy saving retrofits, until now. When it comes to HID lighting, the Lux Lighting Controller is the your solution to save energy and money.
The Lux unit is built to control any ballast-based, gaseous discharge lighting system. Its flexible design allows the Lux to interface with any dedicated lighting circuit of 120, 277, 240 or 347 volts in capacities of 10 amperes and up (typical units are 20 amperes) single-phase lighting circuits.

Savings that can be measured within 20 minutes after the lights turn on!

The Lux unit works with any other energy savings devices such as high efficiency lamps, energy management systems, photoelectric switches, etc. If portions of the lighting circuit are turned on at various times, smaller Lux Lighting Controllers installed will be used to provide full power until those lights have ignited and stabilized; then the Lux Lighting Controller automatically goes to the energy-savings mode.
Field energy savings measurements range from 15% to over 20%, depending on power distribution conditions, fixture types, age of lighting systems and operating conditions. The Lux unit can be metered at the source and creates no harmonics.
The unit controls spikes, controls and regulates line voltage to induce savings, and prevents over voltage situations in order to prolong lamp and ballast life. Running the lamps at a lower wattage will reduce the operating temperature, thus prolonging the life of the lamps and the ballasts by up to 40%. This results in a very nice reduction in maintenance cost.
Lux Lighting Controller is a simple solution that provides immediate energy savings. It requires no de-lamping and no re-lamping. The installation is simple and can be performed by any electrical contractor. The most important thing to keep in mind is you get your money back within one to two years. Where else can you get a minimum of 50% return on investment?
The Lux is ideal for supermarkets, convenience stores, and other retail outlets. Both indoor and outdoor lighting can be controlled with the Lux. Most gasoline stations and warehouses for example use HID lamps filled with Metal Halide (MH) gas. When this type of lamp is first switched on, it needs all the watts it is rated for to warm up. After ten to fifteen minutes, the voltage of the lamp can be reduced without noticeable loss in lighting level.
Most outdoor lamps are HID fixtures filled with different types of gases. These lamps have been used everywhere for years, but only now is there a proven way to save 20% or more of energy used by these lamps. Lux Lighting Controller is not a complicated device, and is based on technology that was perfected a half century ago. We just added modern state-of-the-art controls to create a system unmatched in simplicity, cost-effectiveness, and reliability.
The design is simple, but very reliable and durable based on technology that is time tested and proven. The installation process is quick and easy. This type of controller has performed successfully in numerous different installations. The greatest savings are achieved by facilities that use lighting 24 hours a day. Resulting in a payback of less than a year! 100% Return On Investment!
