CyberBiota means the symbiosis of microelectronics with life. CBi was founded in 2003 as a design firm specializing in rehabilitative devices and biotelemetry. In the past year we have refocused our energies on Solid State Lighting, and the technologies to enable sustainable living through alternative energy sources. Our mission is to provide the best possible lighting solutions with the lowest possible energy consumption. We use only the best-in-class parts, design all of our products in the United States, assemble, and test all of our products in North Carolina. Every CyberBiota Lighting System comes with a 5 year guarantee. CyberBiota, Incorporated is a Disabled Veteran owned and operated corporation.
The Evolution of Artificial Light:
Fire produces both heat and light- the candle! (least efficient: 0.3 Lumens/Watt)
Edison produced the incandescent bulb. (not efficient: 17.5 lumens/Watt)
Mercury vapor is used to produce fluorescent light with an unattractive institutional appearance. (moderately efficient: 60 lumens/Watt)
Light emitting diodes (LEDs, or Solid State Lights) produce photons directly from electrons with roughly 37% efficiency. They can be dimmed, color-mixed, and are directly compatible with solar energy sources. (extremely efficient: 150 Lumens/Watt)
