Descrizione del progetto
In arrivo un modo rapido, sicuro ed economico di aggiornare l’illuminazione fluorescente
Le lampade fluorescenti sono tuttora tra i tipi di illuminazione più ampiamente usati al giorno d’oggi, ma il vapore di mercurio emesso dalla luce ultravioletta è tossico e può contaminare l’ambiente nel caso in cui si rompa un tubo durante l’utilizzo o lo smaltimento. L’azienda austriaca MPE Moled Produktions- und Entwicklungsgesellschaft mbH ha sviluppato una piccola scatola, chiamata M OLED®-Box, che consentirà l’aggiornamento di un’unità di illuminazione fluorescente in un LED efficiente sotto il profilo energetico, in modo sicuro ed economico e in pochi minuti. Il progetto SEREEL, finanziato dall’UE, permetterà al team di condurre le ricerche di mercato necessarie all’espansione in Europa, offrendo a tutti benefici a livello energetico e ambientale.
Obiettivo
LED is an energy-saving trend in lighting technology and offers more and more solutions to replace the fluorescent tube.
Unfortunately, the change from these tubes to LED-tubes is much more difficult than the replacement of light bulbs by LED
bulbs. This resulted in a trend which is a waste of resources and harmful to the environment: The whole luminaire (light
fitting including casing, glass etc.) is disposed and replaced by an ‘integrated LED luminaire’ which has to be replaced in 5-7
years. We have more than 2300 Mio. fluorescent tubes in Europe. This trend produces a giant pile of expensive electronic
scrap and wastes money. Our company is going to change the game: We developed a tiny box which allows to upgrade a
luminaire for fluorescent tubes to an efficient LED-luminaire which works with 230V LED-tubes. Earlier, this modification was
critical for safety reasons. After the modification, an inadvertently inserted fluorescent tube would blast if there was not our
innovation: The patented M OLED®-Box solves the safety issue and allows electricians to retrofit the existing luminaire without the
risk of injury of the users. The necessary re-certification is easy, because the M OLED®-Box is a certified component and
our company delivers a helpful how-to manual in the electricians national language. The modification itself only needs 5-10
minutes. The M OLED®-Box (made in EU) has a market price of approx. € 15.-. The production is rather simple
and the business model can be scaled up quickly. The potential market size is € 1000 Mio / yr. In Phase 1, the project goal is
to survey the targeted markets France, Poland, Spain, Sweden and UK. Together with Austria and Germany they build starting points to conquer the whole European market. The information obtained is the base for the feasibility study. The business model will be based on
distribution partners. The production is outsourced to suppliers in the EU where we have access for strict quality control.
