In the lighting universe, energy efficiency emerges as the path towards more conscious ans sustainable energy consumption under the essential concepts based on intelligent and efficient lighting systems.
At Actilum, committed to innovation, we present our approach to High Efficiency transcending simple resource management.
In order to minimise energy consumption without compromising brightness, we have developed our advanced High Efficiency LED technology to wich we incorporate our integrated Soft-Starter system.
High Efficiency means 40% less that generation, which translates into 40% less energy consumption when maintaining the same luminous flux. This approach not only ensures effective lighting, but also reflects our commitment to energy savings, sustainability and energy efficiency.
Characterised by their simplicity and robustness, our systems outperform conventional LED systems by 40% and use 30% fewer electronic components.
The essence of conscious enlightenment
At the heart of this concept is the optimisation of the ratio between the amount of energy consumed and the amount of energy needed to power an electrical system, in this case for light generation.
The observation of these dynamics is studied through precise indicators designed to measure the variation of this relationship over time.
In this analysis, we will look at the keys to more effective and efficient lighting.
Energy optimisation
High Efficiency is not just a concept, but a standard to reach.
At the heart of a highly efficient system lies the ability to maximise the utilisation of electrical energy, minimising and ideally eliminating any losses.
To achieve this we have increased the presence of copper in the circuits to decrease voltage drops and ensure a longer lifetime of our products compared to other solutions available on the market.
Power factor
The perfect balance between power generated and power consumed
The power factor is an essential parameter in electrical systems that represents the optimal balance between the power generated and the power consumed.
It is calculated as the quotient of the active power, which does the actual work, and the apparent power, which includes both active and reactive power.
A power factor of 1 indicates a perfect balance, which means that all the energy supplied is used efficiently to perform useful work, such as lighting in the case of lighting systems.
A power factor close to 1 is desirable as it minimises energy losses and contributes to efficient and economic operation of power systems.
Conversely, a low power factor indicates a higher presence of reactive power, which can result in inefficiencies in power transmission and additional costs for the consumer. Therefore, optimising the power factor is essential to ensure efficient energy use and maintain adequate electrical performance in various applications.
Integrated “Soft Starter” LED soft starter
When activating an LED lighting system, a current spike occurs during the first few milliseconds, during which time the power supply must build up charge and deliver the required power.
The integrated soft-start does not require immediate power delivery; instead, the power supply delivers power gradually during those first few milliseconds.
For example the LED strip with soft start offers soft and staggered lighting, providing a more comfortable and efficient visual experience.
Using this approach ensures system stability, even in the presence of multiple sources connected to the network, avoiding interruptions and eliminating any glare on power-up.
Key benefits
Protection of equipment
The Soft-Starter plays a crucial role in protecting equipment at start-up. By preventing the abrupt delivery of 100% power to the system, it minimises the impact of the initial peak current, reducing wear and tear and prolonging the life of critical components.
Durability
The smooth ignition provided by the Soft-Starter contributes significantly to the overall durability of the system. By avoiding sparking of the switches, the possibility of damage is reduced and the lifetime of the electrical components is increased, ensuring stable operation over time.
Energy saving
The Soft-Starter not only protects the equipment, but also contributes to energy savings. By supplying power gradually during the first few milliseconds, power peaks are avoided, which is not only beneficial for system stability, but also reduces power consumption at start-up, contributing to more efficient energy optimisation…
Elimination of glare
The smooth transition facilitated by the Soft-Starter not only protects the equipment, but also improves the user experience. The elimination of glare when switching on the system ensures a more comfortable and safer environment, especially in situations with multiple sources connected to the network.
Efficiency, durability and energy savings are intertwined in our solutions, highlighting the path to a bright and sustainable future.
