PureLux, a nanotechnology company based in Piedmont Triad Research Park, said yesterday that it has received a $100,000 grant from the N.C. Green Business Fund.
The company's focus is developing for commercial use sources of light that are 10 times more efficient than incandescents and three times more efficient than fluorescents. It is a spinout from Center for Nanotechnology and Molecular Materials at Wake Forest University.
Bob Summers, the chief executive of PureLux, said that the grant would be used to help develop two testing sites regarding product design and quantifying illumination standards.
The fund provides grants to help small businesses develop commercial innovations and applications in the biofuels industry and the green-building industry. Funds also are used to attract and leverage private-sector investments and entrepreneurial growth in environmentally conscious technologies and renewable energy products and businesses.
