LED Lighting Project for the Vincent Thomas Bridge
 San
Pedro may be getting a very nice belated Christmas Present! After over
16 years of waiting, construction work is under way to install decorative
blue LED lights on San Pedro's Vincent Thomas Bridge. The light fixtures
began to be installed in last week of October. The project should be
completed by January 30th, 2005.

LED lamps last 30 - 50 times longer that the incandescent lamps they replace,
and their low-current, high-efficiency operation delivers power savings
of 80% - 90% or more. Additionally, LED lamps produce little or no heat
resulting in lighted panels and switches that are cool-to-the-touch unlike
those lit by incandescent lamps. LED technology with its inherent energy
efficiency makes an excellent accompaniment to photovoltaic-based energy
systems. With an average life span of 100,000-plus hours (11 years), LEDs
operate reliably year after year and are virtually maintenance free.
Founded in 1983, LEDtronics® leads where others only follow when
it comes to designing, manufacturing and packaging state-of-the-art LEDs
to meet the world’s constantly changing lighting needs. Our inventive
product line encompasses an array of direct incandescent lamp replacement
Based LEDs, low-cost snap-in and relampable Panel Mount LEDs, high intensity
sunlight-visible Discrete LEDs, PCB LEDs circuit board status indicators,
surface mount diodes SMT LEDs, full-spectrum rainbow RGB LEDs, and Infra-Red
(IR) LEDs.
