“Bulbs or Globes” are some of the colloquial names for electric lamps. The incandescent electric lamp was invented by Thomas Alva Edison in 1879 and patented in January 1880. This eventually consisted of an evacuated bulb with a carbonized bamboo filament, capable of lasting 1200 hours. This filament was selected after searching through thousands of different materials. |

Occupancy and light sensors explained: The sensors respond to motion, switching lights on, when entering an area. When leaving the area it is not immediately plunged into darkness, the lights switch off at a predetermined time. The time delay may be adjusted. Sensors measure light levels in the room and dim or switch off the lights, should sufficient natural light be available. The sensors may be set to control office air conditioners for even higher energy saving. The 'on time' of the air conditioners, may be selected via a second channel time setting. These features are all selected via a simple to use remote control. (No step ladders or tools needed.) |

Variable-frequency drives.
A variable-frequency drive (VFD) is a system for controlling the rotational speed of an alternating current (AC) electric motor by controlling the frequency of the electrical power supplied to the motor.[1][2][3] A variable frequency drive is a specific type of adjustable-speed drive. Variable-frequency drives are also known as adjustable-frequency drives (AFD), variable-speed drives (VSD), AC drives, microdrives or inverter drives. Since the voltage is varied along with frequency, these are sometimes also called VVVF (variable voltage variable frequency) drives.
Variable-frequency drives are widely used. For example, in ventilations systems for large buildings, variable-frequency motors on fans save energy by allowing the volume of air moved to match the system demand. Variable frequency drives are also used on pumps, conveyor and machine tool drives. |

About Heat Pump Technology: Heat pumps are widely used all over the world to heat water. Energy savings come about because it is more efficient to separate hot molecules from cold in a fluid medium (such as air) than it is to make the medium hotter by using direct heating, such as an electric heating element. |
