BOULDER, Colo., Nov. 5, 2007 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- Energy Conservation Technologies, Inc. (ECTI), a landmark technology company (Pink Sheets:ENYC) in cooperation with city officials, has been installing its electronic ballasts in outdoor lighting fixtures for energy savings and improved light quality. To date, the Company completed installations in ten North American cities by retrofitting its ballasts in existing light fixtures. In 2008 ECTI is expected to deliver over 40,000 ballasts in this market.

ECTI is one of the few companies in the world that has field-tested low-frequency electronic ballasts from 20W through 400W for high-pressure sodium, ceramic and quartz pulse start metal halide lamps. In addition, unlike its competitors, ECTI's innovative and patented ballast housing design allows simple retrofit into existing light fixtures.
ECTI electronic ballasts offer three major benefits: they improve light quality, save over 25% electrical energy and reduce maintenance costs by one third. Average savings are estimated to be $30 per year per light pole. Each and everyday, approximately one billion light fixtures are used to illuminate streets and parking lots, worldwide. In the coming decade, HID electronic ballasts will reduce outdoor lighting costs by billions of dollars per year.
About Energy Conservation Technologies, Inc. (www.econpower.com)
ECTI holds patents and has patent-pending status for energy-saving technologies invented and developed by its founder, Fazle Quazi. Over the past 20 years, Quazi has generated 16 national and international patents. He also pioneered fluorescent dimming electronic ballasts in the late eighties and is one of the world's leading power-conversion engineers.
ECTI is located in Boulder, Colorado. ECTI's energy-saving products and technology applications include electronic ballasts for high-intensity discharge (HID) and fluorescent lamps, as well as inverters for wind generators, solar panels and fuel cells. The annual market for each of these products is projected to be in billions.
At present, the primary focus of ECTI is to expand its manufacturing operation and to market its HID electronic ballasts. HID lamps are used for large area illuminations such as streetlights, parking garages, airports, shopping malls and convention halls.
