Iranian Knowledge-Based Firm’s Lighting Products Compete with German, Italian Counterparts
“Our knowledge-based company produces electronic boards and all types of smart devices for all industries. Products like indoor and outdoor lighting that lead to saving energy,” Afshin Paknahal, the managing director of the knowledge-based company, told ANA.
Asked about the distinguishing feature of the Iran-made products compared to the foreign counterparts, he said, “We are the only company that has received the AIPC standard of the European Union and the CA standard which means that the exported products of our company are based on global standards.”
“Our knowledge-based company has patented its lighting products that are comparable to top German and Italian samples in the Turkish market,” Paknahal said.
In a relevant development in June, an Iranian company had benefited from advantages of nanotechnology to produce hydrophobic light bulbs for outdoor places.
‘Gollnoor’ company has made the product which is a light bulb whose external surface is chemically modified to show a hydrophobic property. This feature has made the bulb self-cleaning with no pollutant able to settle down on it.
The creation of micrometric and nanoscale roughness on the external surface of the light bulb through functionalization has led to emergence of hydrophobic property on the external surface of the light bulb, considerable changes in chemical and physical interactions between the superficial areas and settling pollutants.
The hydrophobic light bulbs can be used in outdoor places and regions with a high level of air pollution.
