Energy Focus, Inc. (NASDAQ: EFOI), a leader in sustainable LED
lighting technologies, launches EnFocus™, its patent-pending
lighting control platform that provides dimming and color tuning
capabilities for existing buildings with unprecedented
affordability, simplicity and security. The company will host a
webinar May 27 at 1:00 PM EDT to introduce the EnFocus™ platform to
current and prospective customers.
The EnFocus™ platform is launched with two immediately available
product lines: EnFocus™ DM, which provides a dimmable lighting
solution, and EnFocus™ DCT, which provides both a dimmable and
color tunable lighting solution. EnFocus™, which consists of
EnFocus™ LED tubes and switches that communicate over existing
powerlines, was designed with Energy Focus’s customers in mind –
schools, universities, hospitals, military and government agencies
as well as other commercial enterprises where occupant health,
safety and security are critical considerations. With the EnFocus™
retrofit LED lighting platform, customers can obtain control over
not only the brightness, but also the color temperature of the
lights without the need of adding new communication cables,
replacing whole lighting fixtures, or buying and integrating
products from separate lighting and controls suppliers. This makes
EnFocus™ far more affordable and accessible than any other lighting
control solutions in the market today, particularly for retrofit
applications.
The EnFocus™ platform also comes with circadian rhythm-ready
capabilities. Numerous studies have repeatedly shown that
circadian rhythm—the natural biological process that regulates
sleep-wake cycle throughout a day—is key to better health and
productivity. EnFocus™ lighting systems, for example, can be made
bluer, “cooler” and brighter in the morning to suppress melatonin
production and effectively encourage the production of serotonin,
dopamine and cortisol—helping to boost wakefulness and alertness,
which may increase learning and work productivity. As the day
progresses, the lights can be set to produce redder, “warmer” tones
at lower light levels to allow melatonin production. This can lead
to a calmer, more restful mood after the school or workday is
completed to help facilitate better quality of sleep.
The EnFocus™ platform provides dimming and color tuning with the
same high-quality features of Energy Focus’s other products: long
life, energy efficiency and low flicker. In addition, because all
EnFocus™ LED tubes are dimmable, the transition to EnFocus™ allows
customers to meet new energy efficiency codes that require dimming.
And since no additional communication cables or wireless hardware
are needed, EnFocus™ is completely secure, free of cybersecurity
risks.
“While energy savings and sustainability remain the core appeals
of LED lighting, we are particularly excited and optimistic about
the impact and prospect of human-centric lighting (HCL), which
focuses on enhancing biological, emotional, health and wellbeing of
people,” said James Tu, Chairman and CEO of Energy Focus. “Combined
with Internet-of-Things technologies surrounding electronics,
sensors, software and cloud, HCL is poised to usher LED lighting
into another promising age that makes human lives more sustainable,
more productive, healthier and safer.”
“EnFocus™, with our patent-pending control platform and dimmable
and tunable products, represents the beginning, yet powerful and
scalable foundation of our effort to make HCL accessible to all
buildings, and we look forward to not only entering broader U.S.
and global markets with EnFocus™ DM and EnFocus™ DCT, but also
continuing to expand the product portfolio within the EnFocus™
family to further elevate the quality and sustainability of our
customers’ lives,” concluded Mr. Tu.
“We believe EnFocus™ will bring unprecedented
‘triple-bottom-line’ benefits—financial, environmental and
health—to millions of existing government, commercial and
industrial buildings where lighting controls have been unattainable
due to prohibitive costs and complexity,” said Mike Somers, VP of
Business Development at Energy Focus. “We have received positive
and enthusiastic feedback from our early pilot program and
customers in the energy service company (ESCO), education and
healthcare industries, and we are very excited to bring such
breakthrough and unique products to our customers as well as to our
rapidly growing national network of channel partners.”
Key features of the EnFocus™ platform include:
- 10-stage dimming (DM) and color tuning (DCT) capabilities
- Patent-pending phase-cut communication technologies over A/C
power lines to facilitate dimming and color tuning while
maintaining high power factor and low THD
- Low flicker across the entire dimming and color tuning
range
- Utilize existing wiring of buildings to eliminate the need for
pulling new wires to create a lighting control pathway;
installation is as easy as replacing a wall switch and retrofitting
existing fluorescent or LED tube sockets
- Universal building compatibility with either 2-wire or 3-wire
electrical systems, and with voltage range of 120V / 277V
- Unlike lighting controls that utilize wireless communication
protocols, EnFocus™ is “network safe,” free from increasingly
common cybersecurity hacks and risks
- EnFocus™ LED tubes replace existing fluorescent or LED tubes
instead of replacing the entire fixture, making it the most
sustainable and affordable lighting control solution versus other
alternatives
- Additional control capabilities can be added in the future
through simply upgrading EnFocus™ switches without replacing the
lamps
