This product is USA designed and assembled. These fixtures can also use PIR Motion sensors or both Ultrasonic and PIR together. The center diffuse lens covers the lamps and creates an attractive look. Coming Soon: LED Stairwell Strip • Works by bouncing ultrasonic sound waves off objects in the room and measuring the amount of time it takes for the waves to return. • Movement in the controlled area causes the sound waves to return to the receiver at a faster rate, resulting in occupancy detection. • 360° Coverage with flat-plate transmitters. • Temperature and humidity resistant tuned receivers. • Advanced Signal Processing Circuitry. Passive Infrared Sensor • Reacts only to energy sources (such as the human body) from within their control areas. • PIR senses occupancy by “noticing” the difference in the heat emitted between the human body and the background. • Dual-Element Pyroelectric Sensor • Daylight Filter System • Detection Signature Analysis eliminates false triggers • Adjustable Time Delay and Sensitivity Settings Dual Technology • Uses both Ultrasonic and PIR sensors. • Activates light only when both sensors detect occupancy. • Using a Dual system can eliminate false-on and false-off problems. 4 Howard Lighting Products | www.howard-lighting.com | 800.956.3456 Announcements Our new “War Room” is our central location for data research, market analysis, and reporting.

Previous Lighting Howard Industries recently retrofitted one of its manufacturing facilities from HID fixtures to Linear Fluorescent highbay fixtures. This retrofit is estimated to save the company $56,000 per year in energy costs. The project was completed in two phases. Manufacturing area lighting was upgraded • Total retrofit cost was $57,248. • Expected savings is $56,000 per year. • Payback period is estimated at 12.25 months. Electrical energy usage: • Metal halide = 100 MWHrs/month • Fluorescent = 37 MWHrs/month • Energy savings = 63 MWHrs/month Light level measurements of building: • Old: 12 to 20 foot-candles (average 16) • New: 28 to 43 foot-candles (average 32) 6 Howard Lighting Products | www.howard-lighting.com | 800.956.3456 Lighting News New Lighting The City of Fairhope, Alabama has recently upgraded their pier lighting from 250 W metal halide to 144W LED. If you look at the side by side lighting comparisons, you will see the LED significantly brightens the pier. Using a basic energy cost comparison, the energy savings are about 46% per year, plus the light output is significantly better. Better light output equals better safety. Greater energy savings equals greater cost savings. 7 Howard Lighting Products | www.howard-lighting.com | 800.956.3456 Previous Lighting LED Retrofit at City of Fairhope Pier using URL Series Roadway Lighting News Large LED Retrofit Job at Major Military Facility MWP Series MINIWPP Series Mini Wallpack Polycarbonate Lens LED / 10 watts Medium Wallpack LED / 20 watts A recent job replaced 150 watt High Pressure Sodium wallpack fixtures with 20 watt LED wallpack fixtures. The annual savings per fixture is 86%! These LED fixtures provide better light output, extended lamp life (up to 100K hours), and extended fixture life. The same job also replaced 14 watt Compact Fluorescent wallpacks with 10 watt LED wallpacks. The benefit was to extend fixture life that the LEDs offer (compared to the 10K hours of the compact fluorescent lamps). The annual savings per fixture is 45%!
