Feature StoryGanahl Lumber Company Slashes Utility Bills with DCL®The cost of energy is skyrocketing. Supply cannot keep up with demand, and the electrical grid is dangerously overtaxed. Fortunately, there is a new energy management technology that can dramatically reduce electrical consumption in commercial buildings. Universal Lighting Technologies developed DCL® to provide immediate, wireless control of every lighting fixture in a building or multiple buildings. DCL gives building owners and managers the power to slash energy use during peak hours. The first DCL customers in California have already reduced utility bills by 25 percent to 30 percent. |

DEMANDflex™ BallastsDEMANDflex™ ballasts feature an innovative wireless control technology to receive commands without the need for extra control wires. These ballasts allow you to adjust or “tune” power levels at the circuit level during installation to minimize energy use. Combined with a DCL® (Demand Control Lighting) control system, DEMANDflex ballasts can receive commands from a local computer, over the Internet, or from a building automation system. Ideal for retrofit projects or new construction, DCL is the industry’s most cost-effective tool to manage lighting levels throughout a building or multiple buildings, reduce energy use up to 50% during peak hours, and participate in a Demand Response Program. |

AccuStart5® HB BallastsThe AccuStart5® HB brings superior reliability, flexibility, and energy savings to T5HO high bay applications. Designed for maximum thermal dissipation, AccuStart5® HB provides long life and reliable service in high-temperature installations where HID systems are typically installed. A 4-lamp AccuStart5®HB ballast can save 228 watts per fixture compared to standard 400-watt metal halide systems while improving the quality of light. With programmed start technology, AccuStart5® HB ballasts can be used with occupancy sensors or other switching systems for even greater energy savings. |
