Energy Conservation Technologies Introduces New Line of Mini HID Electronic Ballasts

Energy Conservation Technologies, Inc. (Econ) announced the introduction of its new line of Mini electronic ballasts for lower wattage HID lamps. These new ballasts are well-suited for operating ceramic metal halide (CMH) lamps in down lighting, track lighting and accent lighting applications. CMH lamps, one of the newer HID lamp technologies, produce dazzling and vibrant light with minimum glare.

Econ's proprietary and patented technology ensures superior lumen (light) output by maintaining constant power control over the lamp life, while its low-profile housing enables the sleek Mini ballast to blend easily into modern fixture designs, enhancing design flexibility and visual aesthetics. Econ's robust and high performance Mini electronic ballasts for 20-70W CMH lamps brings the comprehensive benefits of electronic HID technology to a broader range of market applications than ever before and offers a new approach to lighting in the retail sector. Econ's Mini 70W electronic HID ballast housing is approximately 4" x 3" x 1.5". The ballast weighs less than 1.2 pounds.

Fazle Quazi, Econ Chairman and Director of Engineering stated, "The global market for HID electronic ballasts is projected to be tens of millions of units per year. Our superior, robust technology will certainly be a part of this growing lighting market that focuses on energy conservation and performance."
