Why 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 massive chance to cut emissions and our electricity bills Whats more, the beauty of switching to energy efficient lighting is that we can make cuts today. In terms of climate change mitigation, that is the largest win of all.
Green is excellent, and immediately, energy efficient light bulbs are all the rage. With the frightening phase-out of old styleincandescent light bulbs in many developed countries, communities are faced with choosing between a handful of energy efficient forms of lighting – compact fluorescents (CFL) and light emitting diodes (LED)
In the current days, South Africa is in a critical situation. The country is currently revamping all current power stations, and Eskom expenditure plan over the next number of years required to keep the country on track is phenomenal.
Theres a huge pressure to put together the power capacity. The fact 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 consumption by bringing in technology that will enable utilisation and reduction of kW and thats were Voltex come in. There are vast opening within the country power predicament and the consumption of energy saving bulbs has become indispensable.
Not only has the power crisis affected the lighting sector, but the financial metldown too.
The general 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 foremost lighting company to aim at Energy services,sooner before the deficiency of power capacity became an issue in South Africa. We targeted it from a strategic point of view a lot quicker than it happened. That means that when you’re chasing energy services projects, its not economy related. If theres an established company thats already using energy efficient lighting and you can offer 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 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.
