Unlike on/off switching schemes ums to loading docks, Bi-Level is
typically used by others, Bi-Level the versatile and compact solution
saves as much as 75"/" in operating to high lighting costs at a reason-
costs with a unique high/low switch- able price
ing design. At low level, it reduces
output and consumption equally on
all fixtures with no loss of design
uniformrty. When full output is
required, Bi-Level smoothly and
quickly responds without the
lengthy restrike periods normally
expected from other systems.

AIRFORT APRONS

Low level relieves glare and the

immense cost of all-night, large
area lighting by providing up to
a64% output reduction at empty
gates. High level reacts automati-
cally to provide full brightness
when aircraft and support crews
are present.

Tampa Airport, lnternational Terminal

WAREHOUSES

Low level saves in warehouse and

storage facility areas, which are
normally active only 30 lo 4O'k of
the time. Occupancy detectors
automatically respond by giving
full light output to personnel only
when needed

 PRISONS/SECURITY

The low level state saves energy

and money while providing ade-
quate light for CCTV and general
monitoring. Yet high level quickly
gives full illumination when trig-
gered by motion detectors or man-
ual override.

Wide-Llte BL Series MPBM remote indoor ballasts are available for operation of
HPS, metal halide and mercury vapor lamps in sizes ranging from l0O0 watts to
250 watts. An integral electronic module performs the high/low switching function
with a zerolcrossover network to avoid lamp strobing or drop-out. The low range is
factory set to allow for any voltage drops and retain lamp stability. Conventional
ballast characteristics are retained when plannrng wiring sizes. BL series ballasts
are encapsulated to provide maximum heat transfer. These units provide Class H
(180'C) insulation rating and operate at least one full classification below this value
This type of ballast construction allows for use in 65"C ambients.

infrared technology, these devices detect rapid changes in temperature
(infrared energy) whenever a person, vehicle, etc. moves through the in-
visible detection pattern and switch lights to full bright for preset periods.
They emit no radiation and are harmless to humans and animals Six differ-
