Energy in the right light

A subject that has become more important today than it ever was in
the past.

Our aim is to halve your energy costs by means of a free renovation of your
lights. In order to do this, our qualified engineers will provide you with an
evaluation following a comprehensive and professional survey of your lights.

A follow-up meeting will then be arranged, at which we will present you

with the options and possibilities that will be opened up to you if you change to Polaroid LED lights. We will provide you with an offer that is individually tailored to your requirements, taking into account all the factors,
such as switch-on time, the type and physical characteristics of your rooms,
brightness and any applicable provisions under employment law.

Thanks to our cooperation with reputable German leasing companies and

the thorough check of our TV-approved Polaroid lighting products that
they carry out, we are now able to offer you a cost-neutral renovation of
your light fittings. Take us by our word!

studying at university. Edwin H. Land died on 1 March 1991.

Polaroid light was born.

1926
Edwin H. Land began working on light polarisation just one year after
graduating from Harvard. Two years later, he filed a patent application for
the first synthetic polariser.
(A polariser is a component that filters out electromagnetic waves, e.g.
visible light, using a specific polarisation generated from unpolarised, partially polarised or differently polarised electromagnetic waves.)

Edwin H. Land developed a complete solution to the problem of poor vision

at night, using polarised glass in headlights to enable drivers to see.

ASSOCIATION OF GERMAN ELECTRICAL ENGINEERS (VDE)
Electrical equipment testing refers to the carrying out of suitable testing and
measuring processes following the setup, extension or modification of such
equipment, as a means of ensuring the function and safety of the equipment concerned. The central regulations governing the scope of such testing within Germany and, to some extent, Europe can be found in the DIN
VDE standards, in especially the DIN VDE 0100-600 and DIN VDE 0105-100
standards. These measures must only be carried out by qualified specialist
electrical engineers using suitable and approved equipment.
