Nedap Luxon e-HID lighting technology enables you to slash your lighting energy bills by 30 to 65%. Our technology also significantly lowers maintenance costs by up to 50% and it reduces the number of fixtures that need to be installed and maintained. Furthermore, it is important to know that Nedap Luxon technology helps you to qualify for tax and utility rebates related to energy efficient lighting.

More than 15 years ago Nedap Light Controls began to develop its innovative e-HID electronic ballast platform. Our R&D department has set five key objectives:

1. Improving efficiency
Switching from magnetic to electronic HID ballasts would save 10% on lighting energy due to the electronic ballast efficiency

2. Eliminating lamp arc tube blackening and lumen degradation
Preventing electrode erosion dramatically prolongs lamp life and eliminating wasted power with an average of 20%

3. Controllability
Adjusting the light level to the exact amount of foot-candles / lux required (dimming), which can save up to 40% of energy

4. Full product range
Providing a wide product range of reliable high power e-HID ballasts from 250W up to 2,000W

5. Total system flexibility and full lighting control
Introducing a wireless HID lighting technology which offers detailed information about the lighting network. Dedicated software enables to control the lighting network and adjust the floorplan or lamp/group and sensor settings when needed

Due to many installs world wide, an extensive testing program and know how Nedap Light controls developed a cutting edge electronic HID platform. The Nedap Luxon product performance meets all of the above objectives and beyond. Nedap Luxon technology offers the following core benefits:

• High Ambient temperature
  A combination of smart product design, quality components and product testing has resulted in superior temperature control and allows high operational ambient temperatures
• Easy control
  Makes new and retrofit installations extremely easy without installing new 1-10V control wires, but make use of a reliable wireless RF control technology
• Full software control using a smart microcontroller
  Continously monitors all internal ballast parameters and controls energy supply to the HID lamp
• Luxon Precision-Start technology for accurate and trouble free lamp ignition
  Controlled digital ignition technology that reduces lamp arc-tube blackening effect
  
  
  
  
• High frequency output waveform for normal operation
  Preserves the lamp electrodes from erosion, “above acoustic resonance technology” increases efficiency of HID lamps, improves performance and extends lamp life
  
  
• Greater protection
  - Greater surge protection ensures low fault rate and trouble free installations
  - TOV (Temporary Over Voltage) protection
  - Full protection against capacitive mode of operation (hard switching)
  - Full protection against arcing or shorting
  - Software controlled enabling precise monitoring and accurately presetting values for different types of applications or lamps
• Superior dimming control
  - Ballasts can be dimmed with analog dimmers or controllers, light sensors, ambient sensors, or any other compatible sensor for automatic lighting control
  - Event triggered scheduling
  - Automatic scheduling
