AJ: We’re at the buildex construction and design show. We’re taking a look at the number of different technologies that companies are using today, to help change the environment and even help to be more green in your business. And I’m joined with Ronald Content with Go Lighting Technologies; you guys have an interesting technology, you serve replacing incandescent light or you’re replacing regular light in the most stuff you have with led technology.
Ronaldt: That’s right, we’re replacing incandescent and florescent with this technology.
AJ: So what are some of the innovations that you’re doing with these led technologies?
Ronald: Well innovations are a lot of things that we’re changing the way people are gonna be looking at lighter considering light. Right now, florescent tubes for examples are one inch wide by four feet long, and they have two, four, eight of them in a fixture. It’s an awful lot of light, if you take a look at them the entire technologies built about reflecting that light back from the various surfaces in the fusing. And the result is all…
AJ: That’s why they setting those white boxes coz they trying to push all that lay down.
Ronald: They have to, their light is coming from all directions. With LED, light only comes from one direction. It’s a super small technology. But we even changed that,
AJ: Yeah.
Ronald: Yeah, most LEDs are looking at this pushing light straight out and LED will go to a task. On ours, the LEDs are actually facing inward, and using our patented technology, fading our light surfaces that is not one inch wider but 2 feet wider, 4 feet wider.
AJ: Now, there are some interesting things about your technology as well that was different that anything that we’ve seen before, and that is that you have the ability to change colors and dim, things like that.
Ronald: That’s correct.
AJ: Can you use some example on how that works?
Ronald: I can actually. We have what we call your ergonomic models, we have fixed colors and we have ergonomic capabilities, but the nice thing about light is of the quality of light equals the quality of life. People’s mood change and what we can do is we can put you in a positioin with this light to have a nice warm light, that’s about 90% of the warmthness’ of the sun. And if you need more brightness and more light to shine on the area, we can take up to over 6,000 degrees kelvin.
AJ: And typically, that’s not something you can do with the florescent tube, you can’t really change the dimness on it.
Ronald: Florescent are on or off.
AJ: On or off.
Ronald: On or off
AJ: Now, one thing I thought that’s really interesting about this technology, is also how it can fit into workplace and you’re showing me this model behind us here that, your standard more less size in terms of an office light. But when you turn in side ways, this thing is flat.
Ronald: Twenty three and a half millimeters deep. And it fits in a T bar by the way, sort of, it’s T bar mountable as well. So for a false steering it will go there or if it’s need to be in a surface mounted.
AJ: And it terms of energy efficient?
Ronald: We are talking something that is more efficient than any light bulb that is out there, and we go anywhere from 22 watts which will be the equivalent of a 2, 3 or 4, 60 watt incandescent in terms of light that is giving of, and we can go all away up to well all over 100 watts, but certainly more efficient than a row of a florescent.
AJ: Now, if people are interested in this technology. How do they find it? Like, is this something you walk into your regular rona. Or things like that? We could find?
Ronald: We hope so.
AJ: We hope so.
Ronald: But we are working on it. We just brought in Canada, we’re actually launching officially in May, in a light fare in Las Vegas. We’re here to meet people, get some opinions and understanding on what’s going on. But as the feedbacks is not only positive; we have a various governments and organizations which is testing this right now.
AJ: Absolutely. And one last question, where do you see LED technology going in the future?
Ronald: LED technology is the future.
AJ: Is the future. So light bulbs evolve, they’re gonna be gone.
Ronald: They mandated it. The government of Canada already said and many governments have said light bulbs do no longer exist by 2012, I think it is.
AJ: Wow, very interesting. That was Ronald Content, president of GO lighting technology, kinda giving us some insights into LED lighting replacing the old stuffs.
