ROMlight International (Canada) Inc.

ROMlight International (Canada) Inc., located in Toronto, Ontario, has been developing and supplying electronic, High Intensity Discharge (e-HID) lighting ballasts and fixtures since 2000. In recent years, ROMlight has developed interfaces with a variety of control formats to take advantage of the inherent, microprocessor supported controllability of its technology.

ROMlight has also developed a line of dimmable, electronic ballasts to replace the traditional magnetic ballasts required to drive various types of High Intensity Discharge (HID) lamp systems including High Pressure Sodium (HPS) and Metal Halide (MH) lamps. At the core of this development is the application and use of microprocessor technology and related software. The company has engineered the most comprehensive offering of mid-wattage electronic HID ballasts on the market today. The product line includes electronic ballasts and lighting fixtures with wattages ranging from 70 to 600 watts.

Focusing on the energy efficiency retrofit markets in North America and Western Europe, ROMlight replaces 1000 watt old style fixtures with 575 watt e-HID fixtures, and old style 400 watt fixtures with 250 watt e-HID fixtures. Depending on control strategies, MH energy savings range from 40% to over 60%.

Working with the ECHELON Corporation, ROMlight provides adaptive lighting control, by means of Free Topology Twisted Pair transceiver for indoor applications, and LonWorks Power Line Carrier technology for outdoor lighting. The latter means of control is well established for street lighting in Western Europe, and ROMlight is developing strategic partners in this market. Power line carrier control is used in street lighting, parking garages and parking lots. The company is also exploring radio frequency control for suitable applications.

With increasing global emphasis on energy efficiency due to economic, and environmental necessities, ROMlight is facing increasing demand for its products and expertise. OCETA has been assisting ROMlight with its go-to-market strategy and advanced product demonstrations.
