Why are we excited about lighting? Lighting accounts for 19% of the world electricity consumption. Thats a enormous amount and a huge 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 easing, that is the major win of all.

Green is excellent, and right now, energy efficient light bulbs are all the rage. With the looming phase-out of old style incandescent light bulbs in many industrial countries, people are faced with selecting between a handful of green energy forms of lighting – compact fluorescents (CFL) and light emitting diodes (LED)

With the present power capacity, South Africa is in dire strait. 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 massive pressure to construct 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, 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 crisis and the consumption of energy saving bulbs has become important.

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

The broad drop off in lighting across the world has been in zone of 30-35 over the last two years.

Six or seven year ago Voltex was the earliest lighting company to target energy services,sooner before the deficiency 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 chasing 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 inintroducing all the new system to the industry modern advances and secure its leading position for many years. We are based on sound planning and strategy building, and making sure that is reviewed.
