| I-Beam high bays deliver energy savings  The hottest innovation in distribution center and plant facility lighting is the Cool Running Technology featured in the new I-Beam System from Lithonia Lighting. I-Beam fluorescent high bays deliver up to 50% energy savings over traditional HID fixtures and are UL Listed to operate in non- or partially conditioned environments with temperatures reaching 65°C. I-Beam fluorescent high bays deliver significant energy savings over 400-watt metal halide HID fixtures while using advanced optical control to maintain designed light levels for the life of the system. I-Beam is the T5HO fluorescent high bay that is UL/C-UL Listed to operate in environments up to 65ºC.The innovative thermal design of I-Beam, with its patent-pending Cool Running Technology, represents a systems approach that dramatically reduces the ballast operating temperature. Even when the surrounding air temperature approaches 55ºC, the I-Beam ballast operating temperature can be as much as 40º cooler than the competition. Ballast operating temperatures in excess of 90ºC void manufacturer's warranty and increase maintenance costs by significantly shortening ballast life. The advantages of the I-Beam system over HID technology include instant-on/restrike, lower fixture profile, switching and sensor compatibility and improved color rendering with fluorescent lamps. I-Beam fluorescent high bays are available in four- and six-lamp configurations. Narrow, wide and uplight distribution options are offered. These fixtures come with multi-volt ballast as standard. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Construction News :: home page |
