Super Energy Efficient Electronic Sensing Circuit, Innovative Application Specification, Proprietary J-BAR(TM) Technology for Poly-Visa-Lens Light Analysis. Saves an average of 10 Minutes per Day in Wasted Burning Over Competitive Filtered Silicon Units by Duplicating Human Eye Response.

Since the 1960s and before, photocontrol manufacturers have suggested that photocontrols be orientated toward the North in the Northern Hemisphere and toward the South in the Southern Hemisphere. This was so that direct sunlight would not fall on the cadmium sulfide photosensor causing calibration drift and/or dark current. Non-drift silicon sensor technology has changed significantly since the 1960s. Testing at Raynham, MA showed that the light level from the "glow" looking toward sunrise is on an average 2X the level of the other three directions, which are for all intents and purposes the same. Orientation toward sunrise rather than North of a tight positive ratio electronic photocontrol would turn the light off earlier and in effect duplicate the desirable performance of an inverse ratio photocontrol.

The light level in the direction of Sunrise is double that of any other direction.

Non-drift J-BAR technology facing East provides an economical inverse ratio photocontrol with human eye response.

 

It is now practical to orient the unit toward the East with our new Energy SuperStar. The Energy
SuperStar utilizes proprietary J-BAR™ Technology for Poly-Visa-Lens (polymetric analysis of visible light with a newly designed lens) light analysis to determine the optimum switching points. The light sensing system mirrors that of the human eye virtually eliminating any response to light in the spectrum above 800 nanometers. Sensor drift is less than 0.5% over a 10 year life.

J-BAR™ Technology was
developed by a team of the top
Scientists and Engineers in the
world. The team included a PhD
from MIT, a MS from Harvard, and
other top professionals in their
field. It represents true state-of-the-art street lighting control
technology.
