Why using Energy EfficientLighting


September 2, 2010

So whats so exciting about lighting? Lighting accounts for 19% of the world electricity using up. Thats a vast amount and a enormous opportunity to cut emissions and our electricity bills Whats more, the beauty of switching to energy efficient is that we can make cuts today. In terms of climate change improvement, that is the largest win of all.

Green is good, and currently, energy efficient light bulbs are all the rage. With the frightening phase-out of old-fashioned incandescent light bulbs in many developed countries, people are faced with choosing between a handful of energy efficient 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 busy trying to re-establish existing power stations, and Eskom expenditure plan over the next number of years required to keep the country on track is exceptional.

Theres a huge pressure to assemble the power capacity. The truth 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, principal consumer must reduce their consumption by introducing new systems that will reduce the consumption of kW and thats were Voltex come in. There are vast chance within the country power crisis and the usage of energy saving bulbs has become indispensable.

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

The main drop off in lighting product around the continent has been in zone of 30-35 over the last two years.

Six or seven year ago Voltex was the earliest 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 earlier than it happened. That means that when you’re pursuing energy services projects, its not economy related. If theres an well-known company thats already using green energy lighting and you can offer them an desirable pay back, which we do, then we are no reliant on new building construction taking place.

Energy programs, both in terms of products and systems are critical for South Africa going forwards.

Voltex will surely continue to play a significant role inintroducing all the new system to the industry modern advances and guarantee its leading position for many years. We are based on sound planning and strategy building, and making sure that is reviewed.
