Accuflect™ Luminaire
Lighting Reflectors
Accuflect™
B6 light reflecting ceramic is being used in luminaire designs to
improve light output. These include LED, high temperature
incandescent and electrodeless HID designs being developed
and
optimized for improved luminous efficacy. The refractoriness,
high efficiency diffuse reflectance and excellent dielectric properties
all play a role in making Accuflect™ an excellent reflector choice for a
variety of light sources.
In the year 2000, energy usage for
lighting was estimated at 765 Terawatt-hours.* This
represented
roughly 22% of total annual electricity generation and greater than 8%
of the total of all forms of energy production for the year.
To
put this energy usage in perspective, the following relationships
should be kept in mind:
- 1 TWh (terawatt-hour)=1 billion (109)
kWh (kilowatt-hour)
- 1000TWh electrical=3.412
quads electrical
- 1 quadelectrical=3.211quads
of primary energy
- 1 quad=1 quadrillion (1015)
Btu
There
exists an opportunity to save tremendous amounts of energy with more
efficient lighting. This opportunity to save energy
is
manifested in extensive R&D activities in all sectors of the
lighting industry.
