Our New Member Company Exact Lux is Building the Most Dependable Lights in the World

Our new member company, Exact Lux, is focused on an element of our existence crucial to survival: light.

More specifically, its patent-pending technology solves the issue of depreciating LED lights and the expensive energy and maintenance costs that accompany them. Exact Lux is all about providing the most dependable and consistent LED lights in the world—they believe no light should be sacrificed.

Why is Exact Lux’s technology so important? Because there are a number of problems with the LED lighting systems currently available in the market. There is a test to measure the lifetime of an LED called the L70 test—it tracks the point at which an LED is still producing light at 70 percent of its original intensity. LEDs lose 30 percent of their output in their expected lifetime, and the heat from the light causes the color to change over time. The inconsistency of these factors can be detrimental to businesses, particularly in the horticulture industry, as their yields depend on constant and properly tailored lighting.

This is where Exact Lux’s innovative technology comes in. The Light Maintenance System™ allows high efficacy LEDs to be monitored remotely, and uses sensors to collect and analyze data it compares with stored data in order to achieve optimum lighting levels at all times. The lights can still be can be turned off or dimmed, but are engineered to put out 100 percent of their designed lighting and spectrum levels for the entirety of their five-year warranty. In short, the quality of lighting does not diminish or change over time like existing lighting systems, resulting in better yields and lower maintenance costs.

While Exact Lux is targeting the market of Controlled Environment Agriculture (CEA), their technology has the potential for numerous other applications, including public infrastructure. Traditional lighting fixtures used in public spaces, such as tunnels or town squares, need to be replaced and thrown away when their lifetime expires, resulting in high maintenance costs. LEDs from Exact Lux are not made to be disposable, and are built with high quality materials that are packaged as an all-in-one fixture. Because of this, the lights would not require replacement, but rather repair. Even so, the LEDs would not require maintenance for up to 10 years at a time, and any maintenance personnel could repair them when the times comes. Cities could potentially save big time on energy and maintenance costs.

The founder of Exact Lux, Thomas Rogers, has a background in building energy management systems and construction management. He is currently in the process of prototype testing and plans to expand and ramp up production in the coming year. We are thrilled to have Exact Lux join our community at Greentown Labs, and we are excited about the potential for Exact Lux to grow and flourish!
