A "ballast" is an electronic component that regulates voltage in lighting. Axis Technologies Group, Inc. has developed an innovative new ballast with the aim of expanding daylight harvesting into mainstream lighting fluorescent applications. The patented Axis Daylight Harvesting Dimming Ballast is a new technology that transforms the ballast, a once standard lighting industry staple, into a dynamic energy saving system that can reduce lighting energy costs by up to 70%. The Axis Ballast utilizes an individual photo sensor to automatically adjust the amount of electrical current flowing to the light fixture and then dims or increases lighting in conjunction with the amount of available sunlight.

Saving Energy is easy with the Daylight Harvesting Axis Technologies Fluorescent Ballast. When windows or skylights provide natural daylight to a room, the Axis Ballast uses integrated automatic controls to reduce your energy and daytime peak demand load.

The Axis Ballast automatically responds to daylight, reducing electric light only when the room grows brighter, and then increasing electric light only when the room grows dimmer. The light levels never drop below the minimum designed levels. Cloud passing over? No problem; the Axis Ballast’s continuous control response is immediate!

The Axis Ballast was designed to be simple and effective. It offers:

-     Easy Installation, No Maintenance.
-     No Commissioning.
-     Reliable, Seamless, Energy Savings.
-     Integrated Controls; no External Controls Required.

Best of all, the automatic energy savings comes without distraction to room occupants. How? Simply because the change in daylight ambient light level is far more significant in the room then the change in the electric light, allowing the dimming and brightening to go unnoticed.

The Axis Ballast is great for the environment! Reducing your energy reduces the need for more power plants, and reduces the pollutants from power plants. Greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide, sulfor dioxide, and nitrogen oxides can be reduced significantly by reducing the amount of electricity produced from power plants. The Axis Ballast helps you qualify for LEED environmental compliance.
