Install an ‘active reactor’ ballast on existing high-bay lighting
The ‘active reactor’ is an electronically controlled magnetic ballast that’s designed to reduce the running costs of existing high-bay metal halide or high-pressure sodium lamp lighting.
It can reduce the running costs of metal halide lighting by up to 17.5% and up to 22.5% for standard high-pressure sodium lamps.[1]
As an additional benefit, retrofitting it onto your existing lighting set-up can extend the life of your metal halide lighting by a third. It can also extend the life of high-pressure sodium lamps by at least half.
The active reactor can also be used on brand new lighting. It needs to be installed by an EcoSmart Electrician or a suitably-qualified local electrician. Talk to them for more advice about this option.

Halifax Holiday Park, NSW
Halifax Holiday Park reduced their energy bills by almost a quarter with various measures, including extensive lighting changes. They replaced electric powered park lighting with solar bollards and installed efficient LEDs in all cabin garden beds.
Timers control the exterior park lighting in public areas and sensors activate lighting in the laundry and amenities only when required. “Having seen how well it’s working, we will now continue to replace all lighting with LEDs and solar,” said Park Manager, Robert Robinson.[2]
