The Benefit of using Energy Efficient Lighting

So whats so exciting about lighting? Lighting accounts for 19% of the world electricity consumption. Thats a huge amount and a vast opening to minimize our consumption and reduce our cost Whats more, the beauty of switching to energy efficient is that we can make cuts today. In terms of climate change mitigation, that is the largest win of all.

Green is good, and immediately, green energy light bulbs are all the rage. With the frightening phase-out of old-fashioned incandescent light bulbs in many industrial countries, people are faced with picking between a handful of green energy forms of lighting – compact fluorescents (CFL) and light emitting diodes (LED)

With the present power capacity, South Africa is in dire strait. The country is making improvement on the current infrastructure of the power station, and Eskom expenditure plan over the next number of years required to keep the country on course is exceptional.

Theres a massive pressure to construct the power capacity. The reality is it has become impossible to reach the required leve of consumption over the next 10 years. So. On the other side of the coin, main users need to reduce their utilization by bringing in technology that will enable utilisation and reduction of kW and thats were Voltex come in. There are vast opportunity within the country power predicament and the consumption of energy saving bulbs has become necessary.

Not only has the power crisis affected the lighting sector, but the financial metldown too.

The main drop off in lighting equipment wolrdwide has been in area of 30-35 over the last two years.

Six or seven year ago Voltex was the foremost lighting company to target energy services,long before the lack of power capacity became an issue in South Africa. We targeted it from a strategic point of view a lot sooner than it happened. That means that when you’re pursuing energy services projects, its not economy related. If theres an recognized company thats already using green energy lighting and you can propose them an pleasing pay back, which we do, then we are no reliant on new development in the building industry.

South Africa has no other alternative then to prioritize all energy programs.

It is clear that Voltex will without doubt continue to play a important role inlaunching the most recent and assured its postion of leader for years to come. We are based on sound planning and strategy building, and making sure that is reviewed.
