Introducing the Chamaeleon

chamaeleon light

enLighten recently launched the first of its Constellation series of LED lights – the Chamaeleon. Designed and patented in Australia, Chamaeleon uses LED and microwave technology to provide a light that can reduce energy consumption by up to a staggering 93%.

A multi-function light delivering low energy solutions with a high ROI.
Chamaeleon is a multi-function light that provides a range of low energy solutions for fire stairs, car parks and back of house areas. Another innovative light designed and patented by enLighten, it is fitted with microwave (motion) and PE (light) sensors to ensure there is permanent background lighting at all times and full lighting when a space is occupied. Chameleon's advanced design can reduce energy consumption by up to 93% compared to traditional fluorescent lighting while delivering reliability, service and maintenance benefits. It meets a standard that far exceeds all existing industry specifications - enLighten's own Diamond Standard.

Longer life. Shorter ROI.
The patented technology of the Chamaeleon ensures a life expectancy well in excess of 40,000 hours. This combined with enLighten's full service methodology ensures that clients can confidently move to energy efficient lighting with very low down-side risks, a guaranteed ROI and short capital pay back times.

The Specifications.
Like all of enLighten's products, the Chamaeleon has to meet our Diamond Standard. This ensures that its specifications will always meet and often exceed the lighting and energy saving parameters of the most demanding projects.

Patent overcomes safety issues

Existing LED tubes are designed in a way that makes them electrically dangerous and they pose a real risk of electrocution.

The recent patent granted to enLighten overcomes the safety issues associated with the tube design and also provides additional safety elements in the re-wiring of the existing fitting.

With the Standard expected to change in the near future, the existing design of LED tube will become illegal.

Fortunately, the timely Patent of enLighten provides a solution for this energy efficient alternative to the hazardous fluorescent tube.

Australian Financial Review helps create awareness

An article in the AFR on Tuesday 29th June highlighted enLighten's efforts in providing low energy lighting solutions for local government and business.

The article referenced Willoughby City Council and Gosford City Council projects that resulted in energy saving of up to 76%from the retrofit of fluorescent lighting with LED lighting. Increasing business and community awareness of energy reduction is important in helping to reduce Australia's green house gas emissions.

Already the article has resulted in an increase in the enquiry rate and several new projects are being assessed by enLighten. This will only add to the 18,450kg of Carbon Dioxide already saved by lighting retrofit programs undertaken enLighten.

LED to deliver significant energy reductions

More energy-efficient light-emitting diodes are rapidly becoming the preferred lighting solution worldwide. In this article, researchers at the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy, N.Y., estimate that replacing incandescent lights with LEDs could save $1.83 trillion in energy costs globally over the next decade and eliminate the need for 280 1,000-megawatt power plants.

Universities are building a brighter community

The LED University™ program is an international community of universities working to accelerate the adoption of energy-efficient LEDs. Goals include:

Increase energy savings
Protect the environment
Reduce maintenance costs
Provide a better quality of light for improved visibility and safety
