Company Profile:
Remco Solid State Lighting Inc. (Remco) was founded in 2003 to develop offline 120Vac mains operated solid state light engine technologies and luminaire designs for use in general lighting applications that are based on the use of semiconductor devices know as light emitting diodes or LED’s as the light source. These new light engine technologies allow the design of fully integrated plug & play luminaires that deliver the promise of solid state lighting (SSL) and are scaleable to all general lighting applications. With electrical efficiencies of up to 98%, REMCO’s innovative and advanced patent pending light engine technologies remove all the key barriers that have held back the adoption of SSL into the general lighting market.
Remco was selected as one of Canada's Top Ten Cleantech Companies 2008 and is currently receiving worldwide interest in their energy efficient LED Street Light to replace conventional street lights as a result of many featured articles published regarding Remco's successful pilot test at a Military Base in Canada verifying that Remco can replace conventional street lights with LED Street Lights with significant energy savings today. The Remco commercial LED Street Light will achieve 50% energy savings.
Apparently Remco is the only company that can replace street lighting with LED Street Lighting with energy savings utilizing its up to 98% power-efficient patented LED driver technology. The technology is patented and protected in 80% of the global lighting market.
The size of the global street light replacement market is $500 Billion U.S.
