Importers of CFLs invest in equipment for measuring quality, efficiency and durability. Potential and performance of the economy with energy efficiency in Brazil.
Companies associated with ABilumi (Brazilian Association of Importers of lighting products) are built in a sustainable way genuinely Brazilian brands, bringing products to our country's most modern technology within the standards of energy efficiency required by Procel.
With his entrepreneurial spirit, members of ABilumi, most small businesses importers of Brazilian products, lighting have made in recent years, significant investments in quality control and now have equipment and skilled professionals who can ensure total quality of Brazilian brands.
Today, these companies now are able to follow the standards for measuring efficiency of the lamps identical to those used in more advanced countries. Both specifications are sent to suppliers as the tests that are performed in the receipt below current standards. For this measurement, beads are used, a device that allows direct measurement of the luminous flux emitted by a source. Its working principle is based on the fact that by placing a lamp in the center of a sphere of white walls all broadcasters, we have, anywhere on the surface of this sphere, an equal luminance to be proportional to the total flux emitted by the source.
It is important to mention that the bulbs are 100% inspected at the factory and also at random, when arriving in Brazil. Furthermore, all models go through trials and photometry of life. The lamps are inspected at random by the network of laboratories accredited by Inmetro, which collects the samples at the point of sale. The proof of quality certification is given by Ence and Procel of each product.
For measuring the efficiency of lamps, in addition to the total flow delivered by the same is necessary to measure how much electrical energy it consumes to produce that amount of light. Then, just set the ratio measured lumen / instantaneous power measurement to obtain the index of efficiency (lumens / Watt) that is printed on the packaging. Remember that the greater this index is the best efficiency of the lamp.
"The quality of products provide both energy efficiency and the financial results expected by the consumer, and this culture of quality is being disseminated by ABilumi and his associates, who have now more than 15 balls for this purpose in 2009 and will be investing in at least 4 more of these facilities to meet the market growth and new models to be launched, "says the organization's president, Alexandre Cricci.
But even with the efforts of Procel and investments of entrepreneurs of the sector, remains true that efficiency alone will probably not save the world. It is time to "squeeze" more energy available to each electron. We need to go beyond. The real efficiency, combined with a real effort for the conservation of energy, such as ride solidarity, telecommute (home offices), recycling, use of equipment only with its full load, elimination of which is kept on "stand by" unnecessarily, can be really the great "leap of the cat."
