SEL - Spectrally Enhanced Lighting Solutions

What is Spectrally Enhanced Lighting?

Spectrally Enhanced Lighting (s.e.l.) is founded on the principle that daylight, or ‘white’ light, is perceived in a sharper manner by the human eye. Based on this fact, s.e.l. technology utilizes a higher colour temperature to create a more natural, brilliant and intense level of lighting.

s.e.l. consumes dramatically less energy than conventional lighting to reproduce the same levels of brightness. These efficiencies are solutions that are ideally suited for commercial applications and benefit companies who are focused on reducing their operating expenditures.

The Increasing Cost of Electricity

"During the next 5 years we see huge increases in the cost of electricity in commercial buildings in Alberta and Ontario. We believe the combination of an unacceptable dependence on coal, capital intense alternatives, deferred generating and distribution investments, inefficient policy, utilities, processes and government leadership may result in a tripling or more in the cost of electricity in office and other commercial buildings. Smart building owners, managers and occupants are focused on the capital, operational and behavioural initiatives that will identify, control and reduce their power usage. Many of these smart firms have found lighting to be low hanging fruit."
