Evolt is an environmentally conscious company, priding itself in taking the hard steps needed to reduce waste and damage to the environment. Here are are few ways Evolt makes a difference. NIMH batteries: Cadmium is a heavy and toxic metal, which is leaking into the environment through the improper disposal and handling of product which contain this metal. NICD batteries as the name suggests contains this toxic metal, and the use of NICD batteries has a significant toll on the environment as only a portion of those are ever recycled. Evolt has taken the hard road and used more expensive NIMH batteries in their products, which not only remove this unwanted toxic metal, but also reduce the amount of waste material as NIMH are roughly half the size of an equal NICD battery. Information on why Maco Lighting Banned NICD batteries can be found here More information about the performance of the High temperature NI-MH batteries can be found here Switch Mode Power Supplies: Evolt's products all use high frequency switch mode power supplies which give increased efficiency and lower power losses compared to traditional magnetic supplies. Reduction of heat, increases product life and reduces the cost of running the product. Efficient LEDS: Evolts products utilise LED technology and have done for many years. LED technology increases service life, reduces energy consumption and allow for new approaches to how emergency lighting is designed and used. Evolt's range of LED products consume less power, and produce less heat than the competition. |
