New Lighting Controls Offer Reliable Bi-level Switching of Outdoor HID Fixtures

SANTA CLARA, CA - April 2004 - The Watt Stopper's new lighting controls work seamlessly together to switch outdoor HID fixtures between high and low levels based on occupancy.

The EW Low Voltage Outdoor Motion Sensor uses passive infrared technology to detect occupancy. During times of vacancy, the sensor signals the DM-105-WP Outdoor Bi-level HID Controller to switch lights to a lower, energy saving level. When occupants return, lights immediately return to high. The DM's bi-level switching capability eliminates the long restrike time (up to ten minutes) associated with ON/OFF control of HID lighting.

The DM-105-WP installs directly on outdoor fixtures. The EW sensors feature a choice of coverage patterns and mounting options, allowing for precise placement for optimal detection.

Rated for outdoor use, both products can handle wet and damp locations and fluctuating temperatures and weather conditions. Ideal applications include parking lots, parking garages, tennis courts, swimming pools, and sport parks.
