After 3 year development work Oversol Oy launched revolutionary LED based street light, LUMI R, in February 2010. Simultaneously it formed a spin-off company Lumi Group Oy for marketing and further development of LUMI R series (pat.pending). By the end of April first part of the 2-4 million euro financing round was finalized. Replicon was the exclusive financial adviser of the company in the financing.

 

LUMI R street light consumes over 40 % less energy than equivalent traditional product. At the same time the quality of the light is improved notably. Combined with the light control system up to 85 % energy savings can be achieved.

 

First LUMI R light was optimized into 10 meter poles. With the new financing LUMI R series will be expanded into 6, 8 and 12 meter poles.

 

During next 5 – 10 years the market for replacements in street lighting is expected to grow very rapidly due to new energy savings and environmental regulations in EU and else where in OECD countries. LED technology is both energy saving and environmentally friendly.
