Street lighting
is a major concern for public authorities.
 to make towns safe
 to reduce operating costs
 to be in line with sustainable development
Save energy with the e-Pak electronic ballast, which reduces energy consumption for street lighting
by 15% to 45% on average over a year. And reduce your maintenance cost, with longer lamp
service life and product ‘all-in-one’ ease of use.

Save and pay less are the objectives of the elected officials and administrators.
• Street lighting represents up to 40% of the electrical costs for cities.
• The average cost of a light source, including energy and maintenance, is currently around 80 € per year.
 The European Grenelle Environment
Forum, derived directly from the Kyoto
agreements, reiterates the importance
of energy control and maintenance
over 25 years, and recommends imple-
mentation of an integrated dimming
function for each light source.

Operating principle
e-Pak electronic ballast
For the power supply of HPS, MH and CPO type discharge lamps, the e-Pak elec-
tronic ballast offers a significant 15% to 45% reduction in energy consumption on
average per year.
In addition, the 110 Hz square wave lamp signal and the injected power control quality
allow the service life of the lamps to be extended significantly and therefore reduce
maintenance costs.
By design, the e-Pak electronic ballast is Class II equipment: it therefore does not intro-
duce any leakage current to earth.
The e-Pak electronic ballast is characterised by its very high reliability, derived from over
10 years of experience in the field in Europe. It differs by its compactness, the possibility
of installing it up to 15 m from the hot source to optimise its service life, and is very easy
to install and maintain.

Technical characteristics
e-Pak electronic ballast
The e-Pak electronic ballast is an «all-in-one» single-piece control gear unit that can be installed up to 15 m from
the HPS, MH or CPO lamp. Information on the ballast/lamp compatibilities is available at SOGEXI on request.
In order to promote high sustainability with a longer service life for components, and therefore to better preserve
our environment, SOGEXI recommends installing the ballast as far as technically possible from the hot source.
SOGEXI electronic control gear units are mainly delivered as complete electronic control gears, completely tested
individually before delivery: e-Pak ballast + Class II box + GE-Mov protection. Any other form, installation within
the lighting fixture, or specific application, is validated in advance by SOGEXI.
