DHID™ Powered Low/High Bay Fixtures

Practical, Modern Design

  • Simple yet dynamic style; ideally suited to Industrial, Retail or Public Space low/high bay lighting applications
  • Highly efficient reflectors provide excellent light distribution; available in Acrylic or Aluminum
  • Highest lumen per Watt output ratio in the market at 118lm/W+
  • Upgrade over magnetic ballast fixtures can yield 50%+ energy and operating expense savings
  • DHID™ technology is the best performing and most cost effective solution compared to LED, fluorescent and induction.
  • No relamping required; Pulse Start Metal Halide (PSMH) lamps operated by DHID™ ballast do not visibly degrade over entire lifespan
  • Low initial buying cost, high performance and low operating costs = short return on investment and proven long term performance

Ballast Specifications

    • High energy efficiency with Direct Digital Ignition (DDI) micro-processor
    • Available in 200W/250W model and 575W model operating PSMH lamps
    • 200W/250W allows Wattage selection between 200W and 250W via switch
    • Instant one-step dimming to 50% of ballast rated Wattage using Motion Sensor accessory (plugs into fixture RJ-11 port)
    • Analog (0-10VDC) input allows for dimming control of individual/grouped fixtures using sensor, switch or PLC
    • Multiple input Voltages available: 120V to 347V options (please see chart below)
DHID™ Ballast Rated Voltage Working Voltage Safety Voltage
120 – 240V 108V to 264V 97V to 275V
240V – 277V 216V to 299V 204V to 305V
347V 319V to 375V 312V to 382V

Case Study

Air Canada – Toronto Pearson International Airport – www.AirCanada.com
  • Replaced existing 400W MH fixtures utilizing core and coil (magnetic) ballasts with dimmable 200/250W Digital HID™ ballast fixtures. Installed new 200W Pulse Start MH lamps.
  • Install yielded an instant energy savings of 53% per fixture, and lighting levels in the areas were increased.
  • Total direct savings: 246Watts/hr per fixture with DHID™ 200W setting (214 input power); calculations including magnetic ballast energy losses (approx. 15%).

Fixture Benefits

  • Reduce your energy costs instantly by 40-50%+; or 75%+ with dimming
  • F200W/250W selectable fixture replaces old magnetic 250W to 450W
  • F575W fixture replaces inefficient magnetic 750W to 1000W fixture
  • Robust anodized aluminum housing protects from harsh environments
  • Pulse Start Metal Halide lamp choices in 200W, 250W, and 575W
  • Highly efficient Acrylic Reflexor or Aluminum Reflector options
  • Easy to adjust reflexor/reflector design for optimal light focus tuning
  • Dimensions: 22″- 25″ diameter; 28″- 32″ height; 4 – 6kg weight
  • Approved Safety Certifications: cCSAus (Canada and US) and CE (Europe)

Street Lighting Retrofit (Results Vs. LED)

The following contains comparative photometric information for the soon to be released GloGreen S Series digital ballast powered replacement cobra head style street lighting fixtures.

Comparing Accendo S250-American250W-American-400W-AccendoS150W-Cobrahead Street Light/Lamp Fixtures

The chart data above shows that over magnetic ballast powered competitive cobrahead style street lighting fixtures, DHID™ lighting provides a substantial amount of increased lumen output.  Compared is the GloGreen S 250W digital ballast powered street light at 117 lux (maximum illuminance), versus American Lighting’s 250W (59lux) and 400W (43lux) magnetic ballast powered street lights.  Also shown is the result for the GloGreen S 150W cobrahead street light which at even lower power can outperform the competitive 250W and 400W solutions.

Comparing Accendo S250-American250W-American-400W-AccendoS150W-Cobrahead Street Light/Lamp Fixtures Comparing Accendo S250-American250W-American-400W-AccendoS150W-Cobrahead Street Light/Lamp Fixtures Comparing Accendo S250-American250W-American-400W-AccendoS150W-Cobrahead Street Light/Lamp Fixtures Comparing Accendo S250-American250W-American-400W-AccendoS150W-Cobrahead Street Light/Lamp Fixtures

The above input data screens show that all calculation settings were compared equally.

Comparing Accendo S250-Philips250W-Halophane-400W-AccendoS150W-Cobrahead Street Light/Lamp Fixtures

Compared here is the GloGreen S 250W digital ballast powered street light at 117 lux (maximum illuminance), versus Philips 250W cobrahead (40lux) and Halophane 400W (52lux) magnetic ballast powered street lights.  Also shown is the result for the GloGreen S 150W cobrahead street light which again shows that a lower power DHID™ solution can outperform competitive 250W and 400W solutions.
