Ukukhanya okudalwe isintu kungalandelelwa emuva ezikhathini zasendulo. Abantu babemba izinkuni ukuze babase umlilo ukuze bafudumale. Ngaleso sikhathi, abantu babedala ukukhanya lapho beshisa izinkuni ukuze bathole ukushisa. Bekuyinkathi yokushisa nokukhanya.
Ngekhulu le-19, u-Edison wasungula isibani sikagesi, esakhulula ngokuphelele isintu emikhawulweni yasebusuku futhi senza umhlaba wabantu ukhanye. Uma isibani sikhipha ukukhanya, siphinde sikhiphe amandla amaningi okushisa. Singayibiza inkathi yokukhanya nokushisa.
Ekhulwini lama-21, ukuvela kwe-LED kulethe uguquko ekukhanyeni okonga amandla. Amalambu e-LED angumthombo wokukhanya wangempela, onokusebenza okuphezulu kakhulu kokuguqula ugesi ukuya ekukhanyeni. Uma ikhipha ukukhanya, izokhipha ukushisa okuncane kuphela, okwenza izibani zokukhanyisa zibe nezinzuzo zokulondoloza amandla, ukuvikelwa kwemvelo kanye nempilo ende yenkonzo. Ingabizwa ngokuthi inkathi Yokukhanya.
I-E-Lite iyinxusa lokukhanya. Ngonyaka ka-2006, kwamiswa ithimba elite lonjiniyela nochwepheshe, eliholwa uDkt. Bennie Yee, uDkt. Jimmy Hu, uProfessor Ken Lee, uDkt Henry Zhang, abanesipiliyoni esingaphezu kweminyaka engu-80 ku-R&D yokukhanyisa kwe-LED kanye nesipiliyoni sokukhiqiza, ithimba liklame ukukhanya kwe-LED yokuqala ye-high bay e-China njengokungena esikhundleni se-bay light HID. Kusukela lapho, izibani zokukhanya ze-LED, ukukhanya komgwaqo we-LED, zonke izinhlobo zokukhanya kwe-LED kwezinhlelo zokusebenza zezimboni nezangaphandle ziye zathuthukiswa yiqembu. Ithimba selidlulele kude endaweni yokukhanya, liklame uhlelo lokulawula ukukhanya okuhlakaniphile okusekelwe ku-IoT olusekelwe phezu kwe-wireless kanye nezigxobo ezihlakaniphile zedolobha elihlakaniphile. I-E-Lite ingumanduleli esikhathini se-Efficient Light & Intelligence.
Igubha usuku lwakhe lokuzalwa lweminyaka engu-15, i-E-Lite iyaziqhenya ngokusiza amakhasimende namakhasimende emazweni angaphezu kwe-100 nezindawo ezinesikhungo sokukhiqiza esisezingeni eliphezulu esinamandla okukhiqiza amayunithi ayisigidi. Imithwalo yesitsha yekhwalithi ephezulu, ukusebenza kahle okuphezulu, izibani zasemgwaqweni ze-LED zobuchwepheshe obuphezulu, izikhukhula, izibani ezikhulayo, izibani eziphezulu ze-bay , ukukhanya kwezemidlalo, izibani zokupakisha odongeni, izibani zendawo kanye nesistimu yokukhanyisa ehlakaniphile ithunyelwa kusukela efektri nsuku zonke. Zonke izibani ze-LED ezivela ku-E-Lite ziqinisekiswa ngokugcwele amalabhorethri aqashelwa kahle kakhulu afana ne-TUV, UL, Dekra njll. Ngamalambu e-LED ewaranti yeminyaka eyi-10, isikhathi esihamba phambili sezinsuku ezingu-7, i-E-Lite izibophezele ekusevisa umhlaba ngemikhiqizo yokukhanyisa esezingeni eliphezulu nezisombululo.
