APPLICATIONS OF
ELECTROMIZER
ELECTROMIZER finds
applications in all industry since lighting is an integral
part of every activity. Typical areas where ELECTROMIZER is
employed are shop floors, plant lighting, administrative
blocks, toilets, lobbies, corridors, storehouses,
laboratories, streets, highways and any other locations
where discharge lights like sodium vapor lamps, mercury
vapor lamps, fluorescent tube lights, CFLs & Metal Halide
lamps are used. The ELECTROMIZER is not suitable for use
with T5 type of FTLs (which generally employ non-dimmable
electronic ballasts) and also for use with any type of
MOTIVE LOADS (Three Phase Motors)
In many places, experiments have been conducted by a number
of end users to save lighting energy by REDUCING THE NUMBER
OF LIGHTS. Although it is quite true that such action will
result in lesser energy consumption, it will also directly
affect the illumination level (adversely) to a very
substantial extent and which may not be acceptable. Typical
examples can be cited as under.
Twin tube light fittings installed in a hall or office room
: Removing one tube light from each of these fittings will
result in a 50% energy saving BUT at the same time, will
also result in the illumination level dropping by ATLEAST
50% (if not more – considering other factors like the
reflectivity of the walls, light fixtures etc.) Such drop
would, in most cases be unacceptable.
As against this, if ELECTROMIZER were to be used, one would
get energy saving to the tune of about 20-35% at the cost of
a lumen drop of about 5-15% approx.
On highways or streets, experiments have been carried out by
some end users to switch OFF one out of every three lights
for some part of early night hours and two out of every
three lights for the rest of the late night period. This
solution will yield a saving of 33.33 % in the first case
and 66.67 % in the second. However, this solution is not
recommended for the main reason that DARK & BRIGHT POCKETS
are created on the road (ZEBRA EFFECT). This would make
driving conditions hazardous due to non-uniform lighting
However, installation of ELECTROMIZER would maintain a
uniform lighting level at all points on the road / highway.
Although the general lighting level would reduce SLIGHTLY,
the uniformity of such SLIGHTLY REDUCED lighting level would
not compromise safety requirements appreciably However, such
a solution will still yield a saving of between 20-35%.
