The Ecolite is a compact and economical unit, designed to save 25% of power consumption, in fluorescent lighting systems. In addition, the Ecolite extends the lighting elements’ lifetime, improves line power factor and line conduction losses, without any change to the lighting infrastructure.
Features and benefits
Compact
All the Ecolite models are only 11 x 11 x 17cm in size making it very easy to install it in the tightest of spaces. Units from other manufacturers with a similar current rating are nearly 3 times larger.
Lightweight
The Ecolite models weigh under 5 kg making it one of the lightest voltage reduction unit on the market.
Built in bypass switch
This allows the Ecolite to be removed from the circuit easily, for maintenance or for measurements.
Easy installation
There are only three wires to connect up to install the Ecolite.
How does it work?
All lighting is designed to work at 230V. In the UK the supply voltage is usually at 240V and sometimes can be as high as 250V. The additional power is wasted as heat in the lighting. The Ecolite drops the voltage to the lighting by 20 to 30V to save the wasted electricity without a noticeable drop in light output.
By supplying this controlled voltage, the Ecolite improves energy efficiency, reduces electricity consumption and minimises electrical wear and tear. The Ecolite is a compact unit that implements this efficiently and does not produce
any problematic high frequency interference.
Return on investment
The Ecolite achieves a typical return on investment of between 18-30 months. The Ecolite solution can deliver direct savings of up to 25% and reduce total cost of ownership by up to 40% from indirect savings due to lower maintenance costs.
Different models
The Ecolite is a available as a 6A, 10A or 16A models. When selecting the right model always allow a 10% margin on the current.
| Model |
Max. Current |
| Ecolite 6A |
5.4A |
| Ecolite 10A |
9A |
| Ecolite 16A |
14.4A |
Before selecting the correct model, measure the current in the lighting circuit or circuits making sure that all the lights are switched on and the bulbs are all working. Use this current to select the right model by referring to the table above.
