| Cyberlux installs new LED emergency lighting system New York State Senator John J. Flanagan, the Kings Park School District and the Cyberlux Corporation announced the successful completion of an innovative pilot project using next-generation LED solid-state emergency lighting. Cyberlux installed the emergency lighting system in the Emergency Situation Room at Kings Park High School. The pilot program demonstrates the potential to use LED solid-state lighting to prepare schools and other shelters throughout the county to provide assistance to communities in the aftermath of natural disasters, terrorist attacks, electric grid failures and any other calamity that can cause widespread electricity blackouts. Light emitting diodes are durable, energy efficient, cool to the touch and last more than 100 times longer than conventional incandescent lights. The solid-state semiconductors are typically used in automobile dashboards and electronic devices, such as mobile phones. The lighting system is based on Cyberlux's Reliabright Emergency Lighting System powered by a remote, constant charge battery pack that provides up to 80 hours of light on a single battery charge. The system is activated by a proprietary sensor system that detects a loss of power in the building's electrical system. write your comments about the article :: © 2005 Construction News :: home page |
