Space Cooling 27%

Space Heating 16%

Other 5%

• Energy Savings • Simplify Maintenance

Existing Control Technologies• 0-10V• 2-Wire Phase Control• 3-Wire Phase Control• DALI (One type of Digital Ballast)

Anatomy of a Ballast

Front End Back End

Listens for signals from 0-10V, 2-Wire, 3-Wire, or DALI

Controls the lamps

0-10V Technology 4 wire4 wire

• Long history• Zones can be wired

independent of circuits• Full line voltage

available to strike lamps• Easy to retrofit• Low cost controls• THD <10%

• Mis-wire can destroy ballast or all ballasts on that circuit

• 2 Control Wires• Code limitations• Sensitive to wire

length and control noise

Advantages Disadvantages

2 Wire Phase Control

• Easy retrofit• Low cost controls• No control wires

• THD/THC over 30%• No wiring of zones

independent of circuits• Current

implementations

have lamp stability

problems

Advantages Disadvantages

2 wire2 wire

3 Wire Phase Control

• Long history• Full line voltage

available to strike lamps

• THD <10%• Low control power• Low cost controls• Wide variety of

controls available

• No wiring of zones independent of

circuits • Higher cost• Extra line voltage wire

for control

Advantages Disadvantages

3 wire3 wire

Digital (DALI, DSI) 4 wire4 wire

• Every fixture is addressable

• Can Be Retrofitted• Re-zoning capabilities• Individual Fixture

Control• Standard Power wiring• Polarity and Topology

free

• Requires Commissioning

• Limited Manufacturers• Limited lamp types• No control protocol

defined• Failed ballast require re-

commissioning

Advantages Disadvantages

Fluorescent Control Market

• Although multiple technologies are available, why is fluorescent control not widely used?

– Too Expensive– Too Complicated to Design– Too Cumbersome to Maintain

New Product Focus

• Make fluorescent lighting control more cost effective

• Make fluorescent lighting control easy to design by reducing interfaces and complication

• Make a lighting control system that improves maintenance.

• Meet and exceed benefits of existing technologies without the disadvantages

• Make this a REALITY

Can a system that does this be simple to design?

Begin with 1...

• New architecture– Building block approach– Single Fixture, Multiple, System

• No power packs or interfaces• Everything wired together works

together.• Simple customization to meet different

needs.

...Scale to

Example Single Fixture/Office

2X4 Fixturewith EcoSystem Ballast

Example Single Fixture/Office• No Interfaces, Power Packs, or Controllers• (3 Lamp, T8 32Watt, 277V)

Beyond 1 Fixture...

• Traditional systems have upstream controls that make decisions.

Example Multiple Fixture

System Level• Multiple Link• Emergency• Building Sweep• Larger System

System Level• Multiple Links

– Connect sensors and wallstations to any fixture

– Maximize XP Relay Usage to 16Amps

System Level • Emergency

– Feed Emergency fixtures with Normal/Emergency Power.

– Power Supply must be powered on Normal Power– Normal Power drops, Emergency energizes, then

fixture automatically go to 100%.

Advantages• Lower Cost• Easy to design• Same system for all applications• Scalability• Improved Maintenance

– Lamp and Ballast Failure Data

– Ballast Failure replacement without reprogramming

• Personal Control/Daylighting/Occupant Sensing/Manual Control Integration has never been this simple

Advantages (cont)• Exceeds specification of 3-wire, 0-10V, 2-wire, or

DALI systems without the disadvantages• Component Programming

– Everything you buy, programs at the unit.

• Infinite flexibility with Class 2 sensors– Add personal control at any time– Add daylighting when desired– Easily add more occupant sensors

• All load types available in future• Averaging between 35%-60% of traditional system

costs for classroom and office environments

Design Trends• Office Buildings-

– LEED, ASHRAE, Title 24• Measurement & Verification (DMW)

– Simplify repurposing – Re-use fixtures with easy retrofit– Use recessed fixtures instead of pendants to reduce

interstitial space.

• Classrooms– Daylighting, Occupant Sensing

• Daylighting Study Heschong Mahone (www.h-m-g.com)

– LEED, ASHRAE, Title 24

What can the designer expect• Zoning decision can be delayed, perhaps until

commissioning• Lower cost solutions to meet the client’s needs

and energy codes• No interfaces • No miswires• Once the ballast is specified, any controls can be

added/removed/reconfigured without major redesigns

What can the contractor expect

• Control wiring free of topology and polarity issues

• Commissioning done by someone either Lutron or contractor

• Less parts and pieces to install in the field. • No interfaces to co-ordinate• Less wiring time

What can the owner expect

• Infinite flexibility of lighting• No class 1 rewiring ever• No power packs or interface boxes to

replace or “chase” around the building • Simplified maintenance through reporting• Legitimate return on investment• Productivity improvement through proper

lighting levels and individual control• No ballast failure reprogramming
