The number one reason for DC shade motor electronic failure is the Mean time between failures (MTBF) λ of the aluminum electrolytic capacitors inside every motorized blind you install today.
With traditional inefficient-off-the-shelf power supplies, the average nominal lifespan of your motorized shade is 15 years.
Our patented tightly regulated, 6-stage discretely filtered, processor-controlled precision slow-ramp algorithm ensures no additional impacts to capacitor lifespan especially when combined with the reduction of ambient temperature by more than 10 °C using the Arrhenius rule for more than 99.75% of every day. The shade PCB is located inside a metal tube, which is also situated secondarily inside another metal tube with only convectional cooling. Our unique ripple current filtering mitigates the very slow electrolyte drying out. The combination of the reduced temperature inside the tube by removing the sources of radiated heat & by removing the applied voltage across the caps we are very confident about our extended motor life claims.
We have three independent laboratories, Intertek in San Antonio TX, Nokomo in Bartonville, TX, and LCS Compliance in Shenzhen, China, and 3 Universities, the University of Texas at Austin, Hong Kong University, and the University of Houston which are replicating our findings and we will publish these reports on our site once completed.
