With over 23 years of leadership in the aquaculture industry, Luxmeter will showcase its latest innovation at the Aquasur trade fair, the LED PLUS lamp, setting a new standard in luminous efficiency and reduced electrical consumption.

Luxmeter, a prominent firm in the development of lighting solutions for aquaculture, will unveil its key contribution to improving energy efficiency in the production of salmon and other aquatic organisms. This advancement materializes in the LED PLUS lamp, a creation that represents a revolution in aquaculture lighting. This latest development underscores the company’s ongoing commitment to providing sustainable and efficient solutions in the industry.

Claudio Steiner, General Manager, comments: “Over the past 4 years, we have been working on prototypes of LED lamps with the goal of optimizing luminous efficiency and reducing electrical consumption. The LED PLUS lamp not only represents a significant advance in energy efficiency but also a continued commitment by Luxmeter to excellence and sustainability in aquaculture.”

The LED PLUS lamp is the latest addition to the company’s portfolio. With a luminous efficiency exceeding 175 lumens per watt, more than double the previous models, this lamp redefines the relationship between light intensity and electrical consumption. High-efficiency LED plates, combined with its copper C110 heat sink, ensure exceptional performance and an extended lifespan.

This savings translates directly into economic benefits for producers, as approximately 0.35 liters of Diesel fuel are needed to generate 1 kWh in the industry. This means savings ranging from 60 to 180 liters less of Diesel fuel for each day of operation, a reduction that depends on the number of installed lamps and the hours of use of the Photoperiod per day. In summary, the PLUS lamp not only optimizes luminous efficiency but also significantly reduces operational expenses, leaving the Photoperiod’s operational leasing costs almost at zero.

Luxmeter has made its mark on emblematic projects in recent years, such as its participation in the Ventisqueros E-site project, a joint effort with SAESA INNOVA to electrify an entire site through a 1200-meter medium-voltage submarine cable from land. This project has played a vital role in reducing CO2 emissions. Additionally, its partnership with Evoy Norway to introduce electric motors for vessels in Chile marks another significant step toward electrification and reducing the environmental footprint. It is estimated that unifying all these projects will allow the elimination of 100% of CO2 emissions in the total operation of a fattening phase site.

All these innovations will be showcased at Aquasur, at booth L-39, where Luxmeter and Evoy Chile will display their advanced and sustainable technology.
