Why are we excited about lighting? Lighting accounts for 19% of the world electricity consumption. Thats a huge amount and a vast chance to make the world cleaner and improve our savings 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 biggest win of all.

Green is excellent, and immediately, green energy light bulbs are all the rage. With the alarming phase-out of old style incandescent light bulbs in many developed countries, communities are faced with selecting between a handful of green energy 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 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 track is extraordinary.

Theres a huge pressure to construct the power capacity. The fact is we will never be able to meet the demand over the next 10 years. So. On the other side of the coin, principal consumer must reduce their using up 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 consumption of energy saving bulbs has become necessary.

Not only has the power crisis affected the lighting industry, but the financial metldown 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 earliest lighting company to aim at energy services,long before the lack of power capacity became an concern 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 energy saving lighting and you can suggest 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.

Voltex will surely continue to play a considerable role inlaunching the most recent and guarantee its leading position for many years. We are based on sound planning and strategy building, and making sure that is reviewed.
