Circular LED-Energy – Intelligent reuse of energy surplus in lightning

The main objective of the project is to develop a control of energy in an LED light source, so that it produces both light AND transmits controlled surplus energy to a charging unit. This produces recirculated energy for the light source – saving energy from the electricity grid.  
Project description

The main objective of the project is to develop a control of energy in an LED light source, so that it produces both light AND transmits controlled surplus energy to a charging unit. This produces recirculated energy for the light source – saving energy from the electricity grid.  A good LED light source produces more light than we can detect and utilize, and therefore it will be possible to compress the light wave flow. 

By compressing the light waves, controlled overvoltage will be created, which can be stored and circularly released as additional energy to the light source. As a result, the energy consumption of the LED light source will be much lower overall and contribute positively to our carbon footprint.

The project will be carried out by two partners, both operating within lighting, and we will implement the project in collaboration with the international company Schneider Electric, which sees great potential in the development of this particular part of circular energy.
