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

Green is excellent, and immediately, green energy light bulbs are all the rage. With the looming phase-out of old-fashioned incandescent light bulbs in many developed countries, communities are faced with picking 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 course is extraordinary.

Theres a enormous 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 utilization 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 crisis and the consumption of energy saving bulbs has become critical.

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

The general drop off in lighting equipment wolrdwide has been in area 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 green energy lighting and you can suggest them an desirable pay back, which we do, then we are no reliant on new development in the building industry.

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

Therefore Voltex will undoubtedly 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.
