Hiki ke ʻike ʻia ka mālamalama i hana ʻia e ke kanaka i ka wā kahiko. Ua wili nā kānaka i ka lāʻau i mea e hoʻā ai i ke ahi i mea e mahana ai. I kēlā manawa, hana nā kānaka i ka mālamalama ke puhi lākou i ka wahie e loaʻa ai ka wela. He au ia o ka Heat & Light.
I ke kenekulia 19, ua hana ʻo Edison i ke kukui uila, nāna i hoʻokuʻu loa i ke kanaka mai nā palena o ka pō a hoʻomālamalama i ke ao kanaka. Ke hoʻopuka ka ʻōpuʻu kukui i ka mālamalama, hoʻokuʻu pū ia i ka ikehu wela. Hiki iā mākou ke kapa iā ia ʻo ke au o Light & Heat.
I ke kenekulia 21, ua lawe mai ka puka ʻana mai o ka LED i ka hoʻololi ʻana i nā kukui mālama ola. ʻO nā kukui LED he kumu māmā maoli, me ka hoʻololi kiʻekiʻe kiʻekiʻe o ka uila i ka māmā. Ke hoʻokuʻu ʻo ia i ka māmā, e hoʻokuʻu wale ia i kahi wela liʻiliʻi, kahi e loaʻa ai i nā kukui kukui nā mea maikaʻi o ka mālama ʻana i ka ikehu, mālama kaiapuni a me ke ola lawelawe lōʻihi. Hiki ke kapa ʻia ʻo ke au o ka Mālamalama.
ʻO E-Lite ka ʻelele o ka mālamalama. I ka makahiki 2006, ua hoʻokumu ʻia kahi hui elite o nā ʻenekinia a me nā loea, alakaʻi ʻia e Dr. Bennie Yee, Dr. Jimmy Hu, Professor Ken Lee, Dr. Henry Zhang, me ka hōʻiliʻili ʻana ma mua o 80 mau makahiki expereices i nā kukui LED R&D a me ka ʻike hana. Ua hoʻolālā ka hui i ke kukui kiʻekiʻe kiʻekiʻe LED mua ma Kina ma ke ʻano he pani o nā kukui HID kiʻekiʻe. Mai ia manawa mai, ua hoʻomohala ʻia nā kukui kukui LED, nā kukui alanui LED, nā ʻano like ʻole o nā kukui kukui LED no nā noi ʻoihana a me waho e ka hui. Ua hala loa ka hui ma mua o ka ʻāina o ka mālamalama, ua hoʻolālā lākou i ka ʻōnaehana uila uila ʻoi loa o IoT e pili ana i ka ʻōnaehana kukui akamai a me nā pou akamai no ke kūlanakauhale akamai. ʻO E-Lite ka mea mua i ka wā o ka Efficient Light & Intelligence.
I ka hoʻolauleʻa ʻana i kona lā hānau 15 makahiki, haʻaheo ʻo E-Lite no ka lawelawe ʻana i nā mea kūʻai aku a me nā mea kūʻai aku ma luna o 100 mau ʻāina a me nā wahi me kahi hale hana hou e holo ana ma 1 miliona mau ʻāpana hana. Hoʻouna ʻia nā pahu pahu o nā kukui alanui LED kiʻekiʻe, kiʻekiʻe kiʻekiʻe, nā kukui uila, nā kukui ulu, nā kukui bay kiʻekiʻe, nā kukui haʻuki, nā kukui pā, nā kukui wahi a me nā ʻōnaehana kukui akamai e hoʻouna ʻia mai ka hale hana i kēlā me kēia lā. ʻO nā kukui LED a pau mai E-Lite ua hōʻoia pihaʻia e nā hale hana ho'āʻo iʻike nuiʻia e like me TUV, UL, Dekra etc. nā huahana kukui maikaʻi loa a me nā hoʻonā.
