BRIGHTGREEN D900 CUBE

Brightgreen


The D900 Cube is made from 100per cent recyclable materials and contains no toxic or harmful materials. Brightgreen will also buy back the light at the end of its life to ensure proper recycling and maintain a sustainable manufacturing process.
The D900 Cube is an energy-efficient LED downlight, drawing over 900 lumens (brightness) from just 16 watts of power. This makes it the highest efficacy light on the market and an ideal replacement for halogens. Halogen lights use 50 watts to draw 720 lumens, meaning that electricity consumption can be cut to less than a third, due not only to the Cube’s low wattage but also the need for fewer lights due to the Cube’s extra brightness.
While the D900 Cube is made from hard materials and is therefore non-biodegradable, its 100per cent recyclability reduces the need for fresh materials when manufacturing new products, lowering Brightgreen’s environmental impact.
The D900 Cube is made without any toxic materials and doesn’t create any as byproducts. It contains no mercury, lead or hexavalent chromium, all of which are common in other types of lighting.
 

 

  • INITIATIVES
    The D900 Cube features a square beam, which is much more efficient at filling a room with light than traditional round beams, as most rooms themselves are square. Round downlights have beams that overlap and often form dark corners in a room. In contrast, the Cube’s unique square lens aligns light to the straight edges of a room resulting in the need for fewer lights, which in turn reduces electricity consumption even more.
  • The D900 Cube has the highest efficacy of any LED downlight, exceeding the light output of halogen downlights with 903 lumens of light while using just 16 watts of power. Additionally, Brightgreen also holds many patents for the D900 Cube, including a patent on its square beam, ensuring its uniqueness and place in the market as the world’s first square-beamed LED downlight. Other innovative features include its single LED chip (improves aesthetics with a cleaner light source, resembling halogens but provides a higher light quality), UV-free light (doesn’t attract insects, a very useful benefit in Australian summers) and its heat sink (minimises operating temperature, optimising life time).
  • Brightgreen’s sole purpose is to bring an end to planned obsolescence – where products are made to break, forcing constant manufacturing and consumption.  This was incorporated into the design of the D900 Cube, an environmentally friendly downlight that has a remarkably long lifetime and is still of high quality. This has been achieved with a luminaire that uses just 16 watts of power, has a lifetime of 70,000 hours, is completely free of toxic materials but is brighter than halogens.
    The D900 Cube is the world’s first square beamed downlight, making it a unique product. When compared to other lighting types, it sits atop the industry efficacy chart and provides a brightness and light quality that betters halogens. Most competitors struggle to reach an efficient, long-life light with a high level of brightness and light quality. With its square beam, it has brought new levels of innovation and opportunity to LED lighting. It is also more effective in dispersing light, resulting in the need for fewer lights.
    The D900 Cube is the longest-lasting LED downlight on the market, lasting for 70,000 hours, or 30 years with standard use. This is unheard of in the lighting industry, where planned obsolescence is a regular occurrence. Made from the same revolutionary technology as the D900 Curve, the D900 series was also the first LED downlight to match the brightness of a premium 50W halogen while only needing a third of the power. As mentioned previously the D900 series also contain no harmful or toxic materials, unlike other LED lights and other lighting technologies.
    The D900 Cube has undergone independent NATA (National Association of Testing Authorities) testing, proving not only its 70,000 hour lifetime, but also lumen (brightness) maintenance that surpasses IES LM-80 standards. 

 

ASTG09LUCB

Fujitsu General

Fujitsu’s ASTG09LUCB has been designed to be stylish and modern to suit almost any décor without compromising on features or energy efficiency. Even while turned off, the indoor unit conceals the louvre and LED indicators so as to be unobtrusive. The energy star rating for the ASTG09LUCB is 4 stars on both cooling and heating modes making it very efficient while effectively and quickly air conditions the room. The new Human Sensor operates the air conditioner by detecting movement of people within the room and reducing the capacity and energy usage if the room is left unoccupied after 20 minutes.

On the new Designer range, the indoor units have been manufactured with Fujitsu’s own high density multi path heat exchanger to control refrigerant being sent to the indoor unit.

This new distribution component allows the indoor unit to maintain its compact design realizes and at the same time improve the operating efficiency of the air conditioning system.

The material used to manufacture the product is non-toxic and it has been designed the to lessen the impact on the environment by reducing the size of the indoor and outdoor components.

The human sensor is designed to detect the movement of people within the room to deliver the optimum efficiency and temperature control.

When occupants leave the room and do not turn off the air conditioner, after 20 minutes of not detecting any movement in the room, the human sensor will switch the air conditioner into energy saving operation.

During this operation, the set point will be automatically altered to minimise the air conditioners energy usage.

When someone re-enters the room, the human sensor will detect movement and return the air conditioner back to normal operation.

INITIATIVES

BRAEMAR WORLD’S FIRST SIX STAR DUCTED GAS HEATING RANGE

Seeley International

The new Braemar six star ducted gas heating range is the first and only in the world to break the six star barrier, making it the most energy efficient heater on the market. Every additional star represents a 10 to 15 per cent drop in running costs, the new Braemar six star heating range is a break-through, reducing the amount of natural gas used to heat and therefore reducing the impact on the environment.

Natural gas is a responsible choice for home heating needs. It's kinder to the environment, as it produces fewer greenhouse gas emissions than most other forms of heating.

 

INITIATIVES

  • The key features of the Braemar six star ducted gas heating THM6 range that distinguish it from all existing Australian ducted gas heating products are an electrically-modulated gas valve that operates at four discrete gas rates, the widest modulation range of any Australian ducted gas heater; a 24Vdc combustion fan motor that operates at four speeds to suit the four gas rates; and a unique modulating control board (MCB) that facilitates the four stage control of the gas valve and combustion fan. These features mean that overall; the heater can operate much more efficiently over a wider range of heat load conditions and therefore achieve higher star ratings.
  • Key feature and benefit Spectrolink Multizone zoning With the Spectrolink Multizone zoning, you can have different temperatures in up to four separate zones. So the living areas can be warmer than the bedrooms – and you can even switch zones off completely, saving money. Each zone has its own Spectrolink controller (hardwired to the wall), giving you total control over the individual comfort levels throughout your home.
  • The Softair fan system function delivers continuous warm air and ensures no cold drafts. When the heater is turned on, there is a soft, warm breeze, rather than a blast of cold air through the vents as the heater warms up.
  • The InShot Burner shapes the flame for maximum heat, minimising gas wastage for higher efficiency. The burners are made of long-life aluminium, reducing maintenance requirements.
  • The Ecostar Tri-Action™ heat exchanger is standard on all six star models and delivers maximum heat transfer in minimum space.
  • It also features a "no-weld" tubular design for maximum durability and long-life corrosion-resistant construction.
  • The modulating control system was designed by integrating new control technology with existing Braemar control system components. It works in combination with an electrically modulated gas valve, a 24Vdc variable speed combustion fan and a 10 speed variable room fan to enable a wide range of gas rates while still maintaining the heater’s thermal efficiency. For the user, the most significant benefit of the Modulating Control System is that it enables the overall system efficiency to be maintained at extremely high levels, even under the normal variable heat load conditions experienced in a typical installation.
