CBS Outdoor installs Bright Green Edge™ across New York Subway

Thursday, November 29th, 2007

Bright Green Technology’s Sustainable Backlighting™ system - Bright Green Edge™ - has been chosen by CBS Outdoor to backlight advertising panels in the New York Subway.

MTA New York City Transit and CBS Outdoor are both committed to reducing the carbon footprint of the city and this new system reduces energy consumption by as much as 88% compared with fluorescent tube lightboxes. In addition, illumination quality is improved and the system requires no maintenance for at least 5 years.

Bill Murphy, EVP National Operations Director of CBS Outdoor, commented “As part of our green initiative, CBS is doing everything possible to make our displays more environmentally friendly and sustainable. Using the Bright Green Technology illumination system in the New York subway has helped us to do just that.”

Andy Clark, CEO of Bright Green Technology explained: “We’re passionate about the need for advances in energy efficiency ‐ our system has been designed to dramatically reduce the energy consumption and carbon footprint of backlit advertising and signage, whilst driving down the total cost of ownership and improving the quality of illumination. Just as importantly, the use of Sustainable Backlighting™ also eliminates the hazardous waste issues associated with fluorescent tubes.”

Bright Green Edge™ illumination systems are available directly from Bright Green Technology Limited.
