About Envirolight

ENVIROLIGHT™ has become a leader in the design, manufacture and supply of energy efficient lighting throughout the world
 
The ENVIROLIGHT™ is the light of choice when it comes to energy savings, durability and excellent light quality. Envirolight uses the latest state of the art technology to design its patented high impact reflectors that optimise light distribution and light quality. Through our manufacturing facility Lumotech (formerly Hella), the largest lighting manufacturer in Africa, we are able to offer an extremely efficient service worldwide at highly competitive prices. The product range currently includes energy efficient Public Street lighting, Warehouse lighting and Security Lighting.
 
Our aim is to use our Advanced Reflector Technology to revolutionize street lighting in the world, providing vastly improved lighting with Less Power. No compromises are made on quality, durability and affordability thus enabling service providers to ensure safer more environmentally friendly Public areas with products that are fully guaranteed.
 
Envirolight’s Minor road lighting, warehouse, security and our soon to be launched Main road lighting product ranges holds up to the most expensive, most durable, technically advanced lighting products in the industry today at a fraction of the cost.

Carbon Benefits

Saving energy and reducing carbon emissions is an increasingly important topic the world has to face together.

Street lighting is an undeniable aspect of modern civic life and accounts for city's 38-40 per cent of electricity consumption. Effective and efficient lighting is a prerequisite for the holistic development of any city as well as for creating a feeling of well-being and security.”

Amongst all the pollution in the world, light pollution, is the easiest to solve, and yet little is being done about it.

“One CFL light bulb saves about 430kg of coal & 1100 litres of water over its lifetime.”
 
Envirolight have made a huge effort in addressing this subject along with that of saving energy, and global warming. The saving is not only on the energy efficiency that we can provide, but also the footprint in designing our housing.

Not only have Envirolight addressed the issue of saving electricity through the use of the light, but due to the housing using a polypropylene housing material, the Carbon Footprint of the making of the light housing can save as much as 5% of an aluminium housing case.
   
Every Country in the world is facing pressure with regards to energy efficiency. Please view articles below:

“As much as 25% of electricity consumption (by far the #1 source of air pollution) in the United States goes towards lighting. We could save conservatively $2 BILLION a year and millions of tons of coal with more efficient use.”

“Traditional street lighting uses an estimated 2% of all electricity in the UK, with 1,218,590 tonnes of C02 being emitted into the atmosphere every year, enough to fill almost a quarter of a million air balloons.
Energy Efficiency and reduction of GHG go hand in hand”

“50% of worldwide electricity saving potential by 2020 could come from efficient lighting (2)
Energy saving potential in street lighting achieved by increasing efficiency exists all over the globe!

Two examples: 
Compact Fluorescent Lamps (CFL’s) replace incandescent lamps and thus lead to significant energy savings.
II. Energy efficiency in street lighting”

Global Benefits

Envirolight has taken its social responsibilities as primary in its vision.

Envirolight products have been designed with two fundamental principals in mind “Energy Efficiency without Light Deficiency”.

The Envirolight principle takes into account the global lighting needs especially in poorer communities while combating Global Warming, Carbon Emissions and Light Pollution in a holistic manner.

Street lighting has a direct impact on Global Warming via the carbon emissions generated through wasteful electricity consumption both in the cost of manufacturing and in the direct energy consumption.
 
The Envirolight products have been designed to minimize the effect as follows:

• Optimizing the photometrics through its patented reflector design thus ensuring the maximum usage of light in the desired area.
• The use of lamps with a high Colour Rendition Index
• Utilizing a full cut off light to ensure that light pollution is minimised.

By utilising a white light source together with an efficient reflector design the Envirolight is able to reduce the circuit power substantially thus contributing a significant and direct contribution to global carbon emmissions. Furthermore, the excellent photometrics allow for up to 30 percent wider pole spacing thus reducing the quantity of lights, poles and cabling required hence further reducing the carbon emmissions via the manufacturing footprint.

The global benefits are further enhance both in producing the power consumption as well as in the manufacturing footprint required in quantity of lights, poles, cabling and installation.

The replacement of inefficient street lights with energy efficient products is one of the simplest and most effective methods of making a measurable contribution to our environment.

The Envirolight team has considered the most appropriate materials in order to reduce its Carbon Footprint as far as possible. In this regard the Carbon Footprint of Manufacturing the Envirolight is estimated to be in the order of 1/20th of an equivalent size light constructed in aluminium.

The future of the Envirolight products is to strive for wholly recyclable materials in it’s construction.

Projects

UNEP Project

Envirolight has been awarded a project by the United Nations to replace a total of 540 luminaires, 90 in each of six of the FIFA World Cup Host Cities as part of a greening campaign.
 
Although a relatively small project, it will save in excess of nineteen tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions per year and will reduce the carbon footprint by an estimated 50 tonnes.
 
The project is due to be completed by the 14th May 2010 and will be launched on 21st May 2010 at an International event to be held in Uruguay.
