LightBoss® will allow for Significant Energy savings of up to 40%, without replacing Lamps, Ballast and most importantly, without interrupting your business

Colleges, Universities, High Schools, Middle Schools and Grammar Schools all have HID lighting deployed in various applications:

• Outside there are parking lots and sometimes connecting roads illuminated via HID lighting
  
• The exterior of the buildings themselves also utilize HID lamps with wall packs or ground lamps.
  
• Inside, gymnasiums, swimming pools, hockey rinks, exercise areas, racquetball and tennis courts often depend on HID lights for illumination.
  
• Common areas (i.e. cafeterias, large meeting rooms, etc.) often deploy HID lighting.

LightBoss® affords schools flexibility in deployment based on the application. Lighting is typically application driven and so is LightBoss®

Typical Gymnasium or Hockey Rink - LightBoss® unit can be controlled by toggle switch. High setting is 85%, low setting is 65%. Coaches set lamps on "high" for games and practice, all other activities use the 65% setting. Savings in a large gym or rink could be $5,000 per year or more. Facilities like these could also be controlled by an energy management system and could regulate lamp levels based on scheduled activities, accessing any of the eight levels offered by the LightBoss® system.

Parking Lots - Lamps and LightBoss® could be activated at dusk by daylight sensor. After warm-up, lamps reduced to 80% of brightness. After 10:00 PM, timer signals LightBoss® and the lamps are reduced to 60% of brightness, as lamps now are just for security. Lamps at reduced brightness actually produce less glare for security cameras, making visual identification easier. At 5:00 am timer signals LightBoss® to bring lamps back to 80%. At dawn, the daylight sensors signals LightBoss® and lamps to shut off. Click here to find out more about using LightBoss® to control parking lot and parking garage lighting.

Common areas - Assume the common area is augmented by natural light during the day. A Daylight Harvesting sensor could be set at night in conjunction with LightBoss®. LightBoss® would be set at 80%, and sensor is set so that 80% is the "acceptable" light level. LightBoss® and lamps would be turned on and off via a light switch and contactor. As the sun comes up, additional light is detected, and LightBoss® is signaled to reduce lighting to maintain 80% level. On a bright day, typically lamps would be at 60% of brightness, but the room is still provided with the "acceptable" level. Of lighting as determined in the setup. If it gets cloudy, or stormy, LightBoss® will flex upward until the 80% level is attained. In fact LightBoss® will move up and down all day, automatically as needed. Typical savings in this environment would be 30%-33% average year round.
