Artificial illumination and investment $-in-lighting have followed the advancement of materials and manufacturing processes, from wood to the incandescent, discharge lamps and now the LED. This advancement has evolved a lumens-per-watt agenda with little regard for the requirement of the human visual system or the shape of the illumination target- “Until Now”.

Light Emitting Diodes (LED) and other Solid State Lighting (SSL) technologies are proving too expensive and inconsistent for today’s lighting market. OMNILUX can improve efficiency for LED’s and other lamp technologies.

The Shape of Light matching the shape of the intended target delivers; true efficiency, minimal intrusion, reduced glare, improved uniformity and optimal illumination. To consider only lumens-per-watt, is to ignore the fact that; light no matter how efficiently produced which literally goes out the window or illuminates our night sky is waste. The industry’s goal should not be Efficiency (lumens-per-watt) but rather Efficiency + C.U. (Co-efficient of Utilization). C.U is the measure (%) of the light generated that actually arrives at the target.

OMNILUX optimizes “THE SHAPE OF LIGHT” to improve efficiency based on:
  • Leveraging the psychotropic requirements of the human eye combined with efficient resonant systems technology.
  • Compatibility with LED or traditional lamps allowing for designers to begin with the optimal lamp type.
  • Efficient flexible beam manipulation allowing light to match the shape of the target so that most of the flux arrives at the target thereby allowing smaller lamps for many applications.
  • Extremely wide light distribution angles combined with bat-wing (or other optimal profile) to improve uniformity and thereby allow smaller lamps to meet minimal illumination levels.
  • Adjustability of the beam width, by the turn of a knob, so that only the target is illuminated allowing smaller lamps for many applications.

This combined set of benefits can enable EnergyStar™ compliant luminaires and lighting products. Other benefits include ease of DarkSky™ compliance and improved uniformity.
