Why using Energy Efficient Lighting
So whats so exciting about lighting? Lighting accounts for 19% of the world electricity utilization. Thats a massive amount and a huge opening to make the world cleaner and improve our savings Whats more, the beauty of switching to energy efficient lighting 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, green energy light bulbs are all the rage. With the alarming phase-out of old-fashionedincandescent light bulbs in many industrial countries, people are faced with selecting between a handful of energy saving 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 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 phenomenal.
Theres a vast pressure to build 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, 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 opportunity within the country power crisis and the consumption of energy saving bulbs has become essential.
Not only has the power crisis affected the lighting industry, but the financial metldown too.
The broad drop off in lighting product around the continent has been in region of 30-35 over the last two years.
Six or seven year ago Voltex was the first lighting company to target Energy services,long before the lack of power capacity became an problem 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 well-known company thats already using energy saving lighting and you can offer them an striking 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.
It is clear that Voltex will without doubt continue to play a major role inlaunching the most recent and guarantee its postion of leader for years to come. We are based on sound planning and strategy building, and making sure that is reviewed.
