Energy-Saving Lighting

The I-BEAM IBZ system has been engineered to deliver more energy-savings than what is accomplished with a standard fluorescent high bay system. At the core of the system is the highly-efficient Cool Running Plus™ Technology ballast. This exclusive ballast technology is paired with optional energy-saving T5HO lamps to save an additional 5 watts of energy per lamp. Together, this combination makes the IBZ System. 

Save more with Enhanced Two-Level Switching

When full light levels are not needed, two-level switching is a great way to reduce light and energy consumption. Two-level switching allows a ballast operating 4-lamps to be switched to operate only 2-lamps. Commonly referred to as “night light mode”, it is used to provide ambient light for security, work tasks that required less light or to meet certain building codes.

Cool Running Plus™ Technology is the only ballast to offer enhanced two-level switching. By using new, proprietary technology to adjust the Ballast Factor, the IBZ fixture can save 58.5% energy when in this mode. This is an additional 7.5% fewer watts compared to the typical T5HO ballast.

Standard T5HO System with two-level switching: 117W
IBZ Engine with Enhanced two-level switching: 96W
= 21W/$7.21 Savings per IBZ fixture
