Compact Modular	Orion Energy Management Platform - Phase 1
First Law of Thermodynamics	By mastering the first law of thermodynamics, Orion's innovative line of high-intensity fluorescent technology provides the most light possible for the least amount of energy input. Proprietary attributes like the aluminum frame, side and front ventiliation, and patented, roll-formed reflector optimize the way heat is conducted and radiated, and the way light is harvested. The broad diversity of designs allow for effective use in a variety of applications, such as an expansive exterior space, an enclosed freezer with temperatures of minus 20 degrees Fahrenheit, or an interior space with ceilings higher than 100 feet. Orion's innovative design provides options for adding controls today or in the future, when the price of energy increases and real-time pricing becomes a reality. This modular plug-and-play design is significantly more cost-effective than re-wiring to add controls at a later date.
Conductive Heat Transfer	Proprietary I-Frame provides superior thermal properties. Aluminum conducts heat 5 times better than steel.
Radiant Heat Transfer	Superior highly emissive black surface optimizes heat transfer.
Convective Heat Transfer	Differential temperature drives convective air-flow to cool the ballast.
Patented Reflector Geometry	Numerous application-specific design options that harvest and focus light to create superior zonal cavity effect.
Modular Ballast Pack	Optimize energy utilization per square foot. No tools required for installation/removal.
Modular Power Supply	Easy transition to branch circuit connection. Ability to add plug-and-play modules that incorporate motion or ambient light controls and demand response. Energy management system (EMS) interface.
