Philips HF-RegulatorII - for guaranteed, advanced performance

Philips HFRegulatorII is the latest edition to the new generation of electronic control gear for fluorescent lamps and incorporates the revolutionary EII technology.That means you benefit from a guaranteed, advanced performance for the best energy savings from your gear. HFRegulatorII gear can be used in combination with Philips ActiLume lighting control to offer maximum energy savings in a plug and play solution that is pre programmed for instant energy savings.

The advantages of EII-technology

Thanks to a dedicated integrated circuit, independent control of each electrode is ensured and in doing so takes care that lamp life is unaffected by dimming position. Lamp burning is also stabilized in every dimming position to ensure reliable lamp operation and that energy savings are maximized.

The advantages of HF-RegulatorII gear are clear

• Maximum energy savings of up to 75%, especially when used in combination with control systems such as Philips ActiLume

• Lowest standby losses (350 mW)

• Increased lamp wire flexibility and stable lamp operation in every dimming position thanks to the unique Parasitic Capacitance Compensation (up to 2 m)

• Miniaturised and standardised size allows retrofit into standard luminaires

Simplified range

Just two ballast ranges cover the most common control protocols HF-RegulatorII For analogue control signal (1-10V) applications HF-RegulatorII TD For digital control signals including DALI and Touch and Dim

Applications

Philips HF-RegulatorII ballasts are ideal for offices, where personal lighting levels,movement detection,daylight regulation and dynamic ambience bring important benefits. Philips HF-RegulatorII ballasts are also ideal for applications where colour control and scene setting are used to give contrast and atmosphere to enhance the visual environment. Above all Philips HF-RegulatorII ballasts can be combined with the Philips ActiLume control system and the efficiency of Philips MASTER TL5 lamps to provide maximum possible energy savings.

Abbey enjoys increased energy savings with HFRegulatorII and ActiLume

Abbey is one of the UK’s leading personal financial services companies. As such it has a firm commitment to adopt sound environmental management practices recognising the ecological impact of its businesses. This has been nowhere more clearly demonstrated than in one of its main offices in Milton Keynes where the Luxonic Harmony luminaire using the Philips HF-RegulatorII and ActiLume lighting control system has been installed to great effect.

As Neil Shelton, the Managing Director at Luxonic, points out, “Abbey were keen to integrate environmental considerations into the day-to-day business operations and at the same time gain the benefits of automatic energy savings.When you realise that 50-80% of the total cost of a lighting system is spent on energy consumption it is little wonder that operating costs become a critical factor. Philips ActiLume can achieve up to 75% savings on energy expenditure and at the same time help towards reaching the new energy directives and Kyoto targets.”
