STEPPING UP TO THE CHALLENGE.

As visual research advances so too the core understanding of how light interacts with surrounding communities and nocturnal environments.

Utilizing this knowledge, Federal programs, national organizations and industry leaders institute guidelines for illuminating an area safely and

securely while reducing energy, eliminating spill light and minimizing glare. Talon steps up to the challenge, offering innovative solutions to regulatory

compliance issues.

ENERGY EFFICIENCY

With the Federal Energy Independence and Security Act effective January 1, 2009, states are rapidly adopting energy legislation limiting the use of probe start sources in favor of higher efficiency options. Pulse start technology is being embraced for its efficacy, extended life, high lumen maintenance, and color consistency. The increased color rendering of a pulse start lamp improves visibility and heightens the overall safety and security of the site. Higher lumen maintenance levels reduce the number of fixtures needed to achieve a consistent light level over the fixture’s installed life. Initial savings are compounded by decreased energy consumption and less frequent maintenance requirements. By supporting a full array of both horizontal and vertical lamp distributions, Talon offers the broadest selection of energy saving pulse start solutions.

CURFEW COMPLIANCE

Certain regulatory documents incorporate energy saving measures beyond standard source efficacy, including curfew regulations calling for close of business site lighting power reduction. When alternating luminaires are turned off to accomplish the reduction, site lighting uniformity is greatly reduced, compromising visibility and the feeling of security. The Talon Hi/Low [HL] option enables curfew compliance through an integrated dimming relay internal to the housing that reduces power while closely maintaining critical-to-safety site lighting uniformity levels.
