In
the more developed countries approximately a third of the energy
consumption is produced through electricity, in which 25% is directly
associated with illumination. The cost of illumination can represent
up to 80% or 90% of the operating energy costs in commercial
applications.
The
current conventional lighting technologies are actually highly
inefficient presenting a proportion
of useful energy conversion which would barely reach the 15% being
optimist, and reaching the value in the order of of 2% in a larger
part of these. In comparison, the use of energy for heating in
buildings, or motors, it is much more efficient with values of 70% or
90% respectively.
 LuxInTec´s
technology is developed with the purpose of join
electronics and illumination, and the increase of the energy
efficiency in the application of lighting. For this we consider not
only the efficiency in lm/watt ratio of the lamp, but also the sum of
this efficiency in the electronic power source, the optic control of
light generated and its correct projections in the installations.
From an enviromental point of view, the energetic consumption at a
global level in the year 2005 generated the emission of 9 billion
tons of CO2 into the atmosphere. The development or implementation
of lighting technologies of illumination using potency LED reflect a
forward movement in the reduction of energy consumption which would
permit the duplication of efficiency in the application of the light
for illumination by the year 2025.
Furthermore,
thanks to the LED technology there will be a drastic reduction in the
light pollution of cities, due to the control of light which will
permit us to attain this technology. This pollution is the direct
or indirect emission towards the atmosphere
of light originated from an artificial source, due to the use of
inadequate or excesive illumination. The most notable effect of this
pollution is the
dispersion of light towards the sky,
in other words there is no control of light intrusion and its abuse
that directly threatens the biodiversity of nocturnal animal and
plant life which rely on the darkness to survive and maintain its
equilibrium, also like the persons who see as their homes are invaded
by the street lamps out of control.
