2. Q. How to save energy
quickly and easily?
A.A. Automatically turn out theAutomatically turn out the
lights you donlights you don’’t need!t need!

3. …how much can YOU save?

4. If SwitchGenie™ was installed in 20% of the Buildings in the US, it
would save enough Energy to fill up a coal train long enough to
circle the Earth 2.5 times!

5. The SwitchGenie™
A Revolutionary …yet Simple Solution
The Need: Save Money and Conserve Energy
How it Saves Money and Energy
SwitchGenie™ is cost-effective because energy savings can be realized at the
lowest level by simply changing out the ballast and using the existing wall switch.
Conversely, when a complete centrally controlled solution is required,
communications software can be installed on any computer to operate a network
of lights.
A Simple Solution
SwitchGenie™ operates by turning on one fluorescent lamp at a time in standard
two, three or four lamp systems. Instead of a complicated engineered electrical
system which tries to micro-manage intensity as part of an expensive installation,
SwitchGenie™ is a simple stepped dimming process as opposed to controlling the
output of all lamps in any given fixture at once.

6. Who Needs SwitchGenie™
Companies & Communities that want to save MONEY
Companies & Communities that want to be GREEN
Companies & Communities that care about employee
COMFORT and PRODUCTIVITY in the work place.
Market research paper prepared by St. Thomas University Validates concept
and market acceptance.

7. SwitchGenietm
is a simple, low-cost light control system that saves energy and money by turning
off individual lamps in fluorescent fixtures. Simpler and more efficient than dimming,
a SwitchGenietm
controls lamps in industrial plants, offices and retail buildings.
Space - specific. Matches light output to needs in given areas. Saves energy and money
especially in low light environments like computer rooms, storage areas, etc.
Optional inputs include: Daylight, Time, Motion And Others.
No dimming. (Which is bad for fluorescents.) SwitchGenietm
simply energizes individual lamps
on the rotational basis - Which evens out lamp life within the fixture.
• Adjust light in fixtures or fixture groups with one control
• Space – specific - uses only light as needed in any given area
• Vary light output based on time of day, time clock, ambient daylight, motion or other input
• No dimming -- proportional control
Pays for itself in energy savings and power company rebates!
Easy to try and easy to install!
More Features and Benefits

8. SwitchGenie™
– more efficient & repeatable than dimming –
Dimming fluorescent lamps, while possible is often
difficult for several reasons. First, fluorescent are
most efficient when operated with voltage and current
inputs at or near the maximum rated capacity.
Operating efficiency is one of the reasons
SwitchGenie™ systems turn lamps full on or off.
Initial Cost is a second reason for a SwitchGenie™
“on/off” system. At the basic level, SwitchGenie™
offers the same net effect (multi-level lighting control)
as a complex dimming systems, which are many times
the cost.
Total Cost including system purchase and maintenance
is a third SwitchGenie™ advantage. Simply stated, if
you don’t have dimmers, control wiring, dimming ballast
and master controllers, you’ll never need to repair them.
Repeatable is a fourth SwitchGenie™ advantage.
Your settings will generate the same amount of
light today, tomorrow and next month. Dimming
Systems, by contrast, have settings outputs
designated as “apparent” which tend to wander.
Linear Output is still another SwitchGenie™
plus. If you have a 3-lamp fixture and you turn
two lamps off, you have a direct and proportional
energy savings of 66%. There’s no “apparent” light
measurement, no smoke, and no mirrors. What
you shut off is what you save. Also, some dimming
ballast wander in output – light output from fixture
to fixture and lamp to lamp are not necessarily the
same. SwitchGenie™ , with Absolute Switching is
predictable in both light output and energy savings.

9. SAVINGS

3 - lamps 66% 33%
2 -lamps 50%

10. SAVINGS = 50% ~
Cost of Running 4 Lamp Fixture Per Year

11. Tax Incentives, Grants, Requirements
Governmental commitment to energy conservation
is now mandated by Executive Order.
Tax Incentives are available under the Energy Policy Act of 2005 (EPAct 2005)
and The Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008. Deductions of up to 60 cents per square foot
are available for building systems including lighting controls.
Grants and Energy Efficiency Requirements / Incentives
The Commercial Building Initiative created by the Federal Energy Independence and Security Act of December
2007 has a mandate to spend the following amounts for energy conservation:
•$50,000,000 for each of fiscal years 2009 and 2010;
•$100,000,000 for each of fiscal years 2011 and 2012; and
•$200,000,000 for each of fiscal years 2013 through 2018.
The National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA) has teamed with the lighting
members of the electrical industry to launch a Web-based initiative aimed at saving energy and reducing energy
costs in the 5 million existing commercial, industrial, and institutional buildings in the United States. It is
estimated that there are over 1 Billion ballasts in these buildings.

12. Legislation
The STIMULUS package
American Recovery and Reinvestment Act Allots $16.8 Billion
for EERE (Energy Efficiency & Renewable Energy)
To date less than 10% of the DOE funding has been spent
http://apps1.eere.energy.gov/news/daily.cfm/hp_news_id=156

13. Legislation Cont’d
• Report from Code documents from ASHRAE 90.1
New standard Requires Bi-Level Switching for Tax Benefits
and LEED certification.
• Advanced Energy Design Guide for Small Office Buildings
Requires Multi-Level Switching
• August CA Title 24 now requires bi-level Switching and auto
turn-off overnight.

14. How Does it Work?
• SwitchGenie™ relocates control of the fluorescent lamps to within the ballast
• Switch is a “microprocessor” controlled switching circuit inside a now “smart” ballast
• Software
• Takes switching instructions from the wall switch
• SwitchGenie ballast and switches turn on “one lamp at a time”
• Enterprise master controller on a PC/Mac
• Works on High Intensity Discharge, LED fixtures and HVAC Controllers!
• Works with Building automation Systems
• Wireless hand held remote capability
• Smart ballast switch can be controlled by RF

15. Application with other Gas Lamps,
Neon, HID & , HVAC Controllers
SwitchGenietm
Primary Switches can control many electrical
devices.
We have controlled fans, heating units, and kitchen
appliances.
E.g.) an outdoor parking lot: With four metal halide or high
pressure sodium lights on a pole. We can turn off 2 fixtures at
1:00 am in the morning keeping the parking lot safe but save
50% of the energy

16. Competitive Landscape
No other company is pursuing an individual light switching strategy
to achieve improved lighting control and efficiency.
SwitchGenie™ is a cost-effective alternative to 1-10V control systems because it focuses on each tube regardless
of circuitry and features ease of installation “anywhere” placement of the central wireless controller.
1. New Lighting Technology
“Fluorescents will likely dominate commercial light source for years to come.”
- Energy Star Building Manual
2. Lighting Control. The Lighting Control Association is the principal domestic trade organization that offers
enterprise 1-10V analog systems. For obvious reasons, these organizations will resist introduction of
SwitchGenie™
3. Digital Addressable Lighting Interface (DALI) Digital Addressable Lighting Interface (DALI) is an emerging
European technical standard for network-based systems that control lighting in buildings. DALI claims to be
simpler than building management systems and less expensive. This technology is aimed at new construction.
When compared with SwitchGenie™, the comparable DALI is more expensive and much more complex.
It requires commissioning which means “factory visits” to make it work. DALI currently has less than 1% of the
market.
Note: Even LED tubes still must be controlled with Multi-Level Switching!

21. The Center for Discovery, NY
Challenge: Install 100 fixtures to make a more “Autistic friendly” lighting
environment, save money, do it on budget ...with just a few days notice!
The Center for Discovery offers individuals with a range of disabilities and medical
frailties - and their families -innovative educational, clinical, residential and social
and creative arts experiences designed to enrich their lives through personal
accomplishment. A common autism unfriendly feature is the common fluorescent
lighting. While most people cannot see their flicker, some autistics do. It is irritating
to have your room lit by high speed strobe lights.
Solution: Installation will be complete by Mid-September and the facility
opens for use on October 12, 2010. The building will be a LEED platinum
building. SwitchGenie will contribute points to the rating.
CASE STUDY

22. Long Lake United Church of Christ in New Brighton, MN
Challenges: Provide better light in high peaked roof sanctuary. The complaint was that the sanctuary was
too dark and the energy bill was too high. The photos on the left show the original bullet fixtures. The
lighting was spotty and it was hard to read the bibles or the hymnals. The original fixtures consumed 5,850
watts, the new fixtures draw 1,664 watts. Less than 1/3 of the load.
Solution: SwitchGenie provided 22 eight lamp fixture with four levels of light using a SwitchGenie Primary
Switch and 45 watt compact fluorescent lamps.
Result: The amount of light is above the IES (Illuminating Engineering Society) recommendations. The light
increased 300% from 10 Foot candles average to 30 footcandles. Now they have four levels of lighting
control with SwitchGenie controls. Warm white and Cool White lights are available. Wireless remote
controls are also available. The energy savings are over 50% from the previous lights!
