Compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs) offer consumers lighting through lamps that have a longer life and consume considerably less energy than conventional incandescent globes. As part of their strategy to introduce these globes, Eskom embarked on a national programme to exchange incandescent globes with CFLs in selected areas.

Since the programme began in 2004 more than 18 million CFLs have been exchanged for incandescent globes. The national programme was recently implemented in the Western Cape, Northern Province, Gauteng and Free State where four million CFLs were exchanged for incandescent globes.

The programme has reached more than 315 000 households and continues to reduce the energy demand from the household sector.

Run your energy efficient CFL globes directly off DC with our unique home lighting system. CFL lighting is an order of magnitude more efficient than conventional incandescent lights.

CFL globes typically use less than one-third the electricity of incandescent bulbs of equivalent brightness and last up to nine years.

Incadescent light bulbs use only 10 percent of their energy to produce light, burning off the rest as heat. They waste 90 percent of the electricity, electricity that was mainly generated from coal and other fossil fuels. Within a few years, the ever-cheaper CFL will dominate the lighting market.

Welcome to Biolight, we specialise in photovoltaic solutions with a focus on CFL-DC and cooling technologies.

Our unique CFL-DC technology allows for standard 220V CFL globes to be powered via DC without the need for converters which results in up to 15% higher efficiency compared to inverter based solutions.

For off-grid cooling, our 12V or 24V DC motors with very efficient compressors are ideal for applications where only sunlight or batteries are available.
