Matching the light source to the intended application (lighting, agri-food, health, etc.) translates into greater energy efficiency, higher lifetime and lower maintenance costs.

The most commonly used light sources include LEDs, lamps, lasers, OLEDs and electroluminescent materials. When developing each project, all options must be properly evaluated and considered.

However, LEDs stand out as an energy-efficient, long-lasting, sustainable and safe lighting source.

LEDs are therefore the preferred light source, although the use of other sources is not ruled out when necessary.

Optics and spectroscopy play a key role in Matglow's innovation. Both disciplines are deeply linked to materials science, characterisation, analysis and manipulation of light, having a significant impact on sectors such as lighting, agri-food, smart cities, health, among others.

These key competences enable the creation of more efficient, precise and sustainable solutions, with profound impact and scalable solutions, in line with Matglow's commitment.

To create these solutions, Matglow has a specific equipment that enables characterisation, analysis and simulations, such as: spectrometers, radiometers, lux meters, light boxes, optical microscopes and optical simulation software, among others.
