Cavet Technologies launched a new product this week out of the Yonge-Lawrence neighbourhood of Toronto, introducing an innovative, environmentally friendly lighting product in 15 countries. The LumiSmart ILC (which stands for Intelligent Lighting Controller) is a patented device that controls florescent lighting systems for businesses to save energy without effecting the comfort of a building's occupants.
The company boasts that although they just launched this week, they draw on a decade of research by the founders and own six patents. Company spokesperson Leslie Taschner says that though the company launches with fewer than 10 employees, it will be partnering with Don Mills-based
Celestica to manufacture and ship the LumiSmart around the world, which could produce a number of additional jobs in Toronto.
Taschner says that the product is uniquely suited to its home of Ontario, given the Ontario Green Energy Act requirements and the recent local momentum around energy conservation, and notes that while headlines have recently been occupied by foreign company's partnering with the provincial government on renewable energy, Cavet is a proudly local company that will take Toronto-born clean technology, design and manufacturing to the world.
