The Benefits of using Energy Efficient Lighting

Why are we excited about lighting? Lighting accounts for 19% of the world electricity consumption. Thats a enormous amount and a enormous opening to cut emissions and our electricity bills Whats more, the beauty of switching to energy saving light is that we can make cuts today. In terms of climate change mitigation, that is the main win of all.

Green is excellent, and currently, energy saving light bulbs are all the rage. With the looming phase-out of old-fashionedincandescent light bulbs in many industrial countries, population are faced with picking between a handful of energy saving 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 course is extraordinary.

Theres a vast pressure to build the power capacity. The reality is we will never be able to meet the demand over the next 10 years. So. On the other side of the coin, main users need to reduce their consumption by bringing in technology that will enable utilisation and reduction of kW and thats were Voltex come in. There are vast occasion within the country power predicament and the usage of energy saving bulbs has become necessary.

Not only has the power crisis affected the lighting trade, but the economic crisis too.
The broad drop off in lighting equipment wolrdwide has been in zone of 30-35 over the last two years.

Six or seven year ago Voltex was the first lighting company to target Energy services,sooner before the deficiency of power capacity became an problem 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 established company thats already using energy efficient lighting and you can recommend them an striking 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.
Therefore Voltex will undoubtedly continue to play a considerable role inintroducing all the new system to the industry modern advances 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.
