Active ES Lighting Controls is a leading provider of energy-saving lighting power control technology for HID and fluorescent lights. Rapidly gaining popularity within the commercial, industrial, outdoor, and municipal sectors based on a patented, easy-to-use, and less-invasive approach to energy savings through lighting, Active ES' range of products improve the efficiency of existing HID and fluorescent lighting systems without the complexity, cost, or disruption to operations often associated with the use of trendy but less proven lighting upgrade strategies. Simply stated, HID lamps (which are among the most energy-efficient light sources available) start at full power and typically take up to 15 minutes to achieve full brightness. After this point, however, they no longer need full power to maintain optimum lighting levels, but are still consuming this excess power, wasting electricity, and unnecessarily damaging lamps and ballasts. Active ES lighting controls install between the panel and the load, seizing the opportunity to reduce the excessive energy that these lighting systems consume. Making some of the most efficient lamps in the world even more efficient, Active ES lighting controls proceed to smoothly, reliably, and cost-effectively reduce power to a specified level to deliver attractive energy savings of 10 percent to 36 percent.
Active ES has received overwhelming market response to their family of lighting power controllers, which represent simple, energy-efficient, and fully viable alternatives to the costlier, more involved, and sometimes riskier lighting retrofit strategies that are often recommended to commercial/industrial lighting users and municipalities. In the January 2012 issue of Building Operating Management, Active ES LiteOwl™ lighting control device won the honor of "Top Products Awards." The Top Products Awards recognized the most innovative and popular products from manufacturers and suppliers of the year, as determined by building and facility executives who participated in a national survey from over 550 products.
