Ceravision Ltd and Toshiba Electronics have teamed up to accelerate development of advanced magnetrons for lighting applications.
“This programme will allow us to further develop the efficiency of our technology,” said Tim Reynolds, Ceravision’s CEO. “This partnership will allow us to extend our system advantages, while further increasing the amount of energy our products save.”
In November, Ceravision planned to release its first product family incorporating all the benefits of high efficiency plasma. These include power savings of up to 67 per cent, reduction in the number of fittings of up to 50 per cent, extended lifetimes and increased intelligent lighting controls. Named the Alvara range, the first product will be the Alvara 400, which has been designed to replace existing 400W products. Other products for sectors such as street lighting are due to follow shortly afterwards.
