The 1st generation of LED lights consist of the functional replacement of traditional technologies with LEDs,with little emphasis on the efficiency or the aesthetics. Optrical Limited is challenging this status quo bydeveloping custom, low-cost, micro-optic ‘light management’ solutions to tailor the illumination profile of LEDpanels and tube lights by placing light where it is needed, and enhancing the brightness of the luminaire bydoing so. This approach can also be used to reduce the number of LEDs and the power consumption of thefixture for its life. A 25% improvement in brightness translates to not having to build 3 to 4 fewer power plantsof 500 MW capacity in UK alone!Significant long term business opportunity for us would be in manufacturing and direct sales of such innovativeproducts to OEMs, subcontract manufacturers and parts suppliers, potentially generating huge economicbenefits.

第一代LED灯包括传统技术与LED的功能替代，很少强调效率或美学。Optrical Limited正在挑战这一现状，开发定制的低成本微光学“光管理”解决方案，通过将光放置在需要的地方来定制LED面板和管灯的照明轮廓，并通过这样做来提高灯具的亮度。这种方法也可以用来减少LED的数量和灯具的寿命功耗。亮度提高25%意味着仅在英国就不必少建3到4座500兆瓦的发电厂！对我们来说，重要的长期商机将是制造和直接销售此类创新产品给原始设备制造商、电子制造商和零部件供应商，可能产生巨大的经济效益。
