Advances in LED technology have lead to the wider
introduction of LED lightboxes into airport advertising and directional signage
programmes. Apart from reducing an airport’s
carbon footprint, LED units offer a number of advantages over traditional
fluorescent lightboxes:
·
Reduced running
costs: LED lighting is extremely
energy efficient and uses a fraction of the electricity used by fluorescent
tubes. In an environment such as an airport, where the units are switched on
for long periods of time, the saving is significant.
·
Low
maintenance: LED bulbs have a longer
life and need changing less frequently than fluorescent tubes, thus reducing
costs for both unit maintenance and bulb replacement.
·
Compact
units: LED requires significantly
less depth than fluorescent lighting, allowing units to be slimline,
lightweight and offering greater flexibility of installation.
·
Improved
light distribution : LED lighting provides uniform brightness across the surface of the lightbox display.
