Lighting Controls, Protection and Features
AmeriTech Energy has internally developed and teamed up with industry leaders to provide advanced lighting controls such as: a) Motion controls b) Photocells c) Light Harvesting d) Remote programming e) Remote control using mobile phones and computers f) 0-10V dimming g) NFC h) DALI and i) Surge suppression technology.
These controls and protection mechanisms help significantly reduce energy costs, while dramatically extending longevity. We strongly recommend customers seriously consider integrating lighting controls and protection integrated into AmeriTech products.
Features such as Dual Switching Drivers, Tune-able Drivers, Field Replace-able Drivers and the ability to place drivers near the base of parking lot and area lighting poles to significantly reduce the cost of maintenance.

- Knuckle adjustable elbow for enabling photocell to be adjusted for best performance.
- All products qualify for utility rebates.
Indoor Light Harvesting operate without lighting turned on. The photocells can be set for the levels desired for ON/OFF functionality. Lights with Photo Harvesting have the following attributes:
- Wide Operating Voltage Range (100V – 277V).
- Delay action eliminates load switching OFF due to car headlights and lightening.
- IP65 – waterproof, rustproof and dustproof.
- Sonic welded polycarbonate housing and lens to seal out moisture.
- Controls come with a washer gasket and locking nut.
- M Models are heavy duty die cast housings.
- Light level adjustment.
- Cadmium sulfide photocell.
- NEMA has twist socket for installing on back of Shoebox and Flood lights.
- Knuckle adjustable elbow for enabling photocell to be adjusted for best performance.
- All products qualify for utility rebates.
Remote programming is achieved through the use of a programmable controller which communicates directly with the light being adjusted. This timing event controls percentage dimming and timing for ON/OFF functionality.
