DIALIGHT to provide signal lighting products to the State of New Mexico
Applied LED lighting technology specialist Dialight Plc, today announced that it
is to supply the state of New Mexico with over 8,000 individual LED Traffic
Signals, in the first phase of a programme to replace the incandescent lighting
currently used in traffic intersections across the state. This order is
supported by the expected $3 billion grant the state will receive as part of the
American Recovery and Reinvestment federal stimulus package.
Dialight’s signals lighting offers the lowest wattage of any LED signal and
delivers energy savings of over 90% per signal compared to the traditional
incandescent bulbs, with the state of New Mexico to save an estimated $500,000
per year in electricity costs. Having recognized the significant energy savings
of LED traffic signals, the United States has many significant rebate programs
for making the switch to LEDs. There are currently 38 states offering LED
rebates or incentives for direct retrofits of red, green and yellow traffic
lights, and many have proposed projects for utilizing the US Stimulus Package.
Dialight CEO, Roy Burton, comments: “This contract is a further example of how
the United States has a firm commitment to LED lighting in the future, with the
significant cost savings it offers and its benefit to the environment. With many
states expected to use stimulus package funds to invest in its LED programs, we
should see greater momentum in agreements of this nature from other state
governments across the United States.”
