The Cleantech Show #014 (MP3 - 11MB - 30min)

The Active Reactor is an electronic device that saves electricity and energy when used with HID (high intensity discharge) lamps. On this weeks show founder and Managing Director of The Active Reactor Richard Dluzniak and I explore the massive potential for this technology to reduce the energy requirements and lifetime of street lighting.

By continuously adjusting the power to a lamp to produce only the design level of lighting considerable energy savings can be achieved. The savings for HPS lamps is typ 20-25% and for MH lamps the saving is typ 15-20%. The Active Reactor also increases the lamp life by over 50%.

The Active Reactor is applicable to all forms of streetlighting, carpark lighting, sports lighting, factory and industrial lighting where high pressure sodium(HPS) or metal halide (MH) lamps are used.

This is a great technology that after multiple years of trial and testing is now ready to have a big impact on our street-scape energy use.

cheers
