Glad to be on board. My name is Felipe (Phil); I hold a Bachelors degree in Architecture and have been involved in the field of public lighting for about five years now. I am the project coordinator for the department of public lighting in the city of Juarez, in Mexico and head the review and approval of lighting projects for new urban developments. We also evaluate a broad spectrum of new proposals for lighting products brought to us from our current suppliers as well as new ones. We are bringing innovation to the use of energy efficient technologies that will allow the reduction of energy consumption; from incorporating the use of software for the design of lighting projects, to the replacement of inefficient lamps throughout the city’s grid. This objective must be brought forth by the coupling of both technology and proper financial resource management that will allow the city’s capital not to be compromised, enabling it to become a self sustained and self renewed system through the existing public capitation revenue method.

Currently, I am doing research in the advancements in the field of materials for lattices of semiconductors and their application in photovoltaic cells and in LED lighting and the latter’s improvement of luminous flux which is regulated by law to a minimum of illuminance required for street surface illumination. This limits the offers for adequate, low consuming lamps that may also comply with national regulations and that are within the parameters of the city’s financial resource stream.
