NEW LED backlighting variant to Bright Green Matrix range
January 23rd, 2012LED backlighting specialist, Bright Green Technology, has added a new variant of Bright Green Matrix to its range at a lower price point and available direct from the manufacturer.
Targeted for use in slimmer light boxes from 100mm to 150mm deep – Bright Green Matrix features 100mm pitch LEDs rather than 50mm. Otherwise it retains all the features and benefits of the existing, successful product – put simply it is less bright, uses less power and costs less money.
The immediate impact is a more cost effective option where boxes are slim or where premium brightness is not required. The reduced cost and power consumption add up to a faster return on investment. Bright Green Technology is confident that cost savings of greater than 25% can be achieved.
Supplied in 6 LED ‘stick’ sizes from 310mm to 1810mm, Bright Green Matrix is the ideal solution for backlighting flex face signage, billboards and other displays, internally externally. Purpose designed kits speed up installation, whilst reducing time spent working at height.
Bright Green Matrix is simple to install, robust, IP67 and has a lifetime of 50,000 hours +.
Bright Green Matrix is specified by many blue chip companies and is installed at hundreds of sites in the UK, Europe and USA. On request, Bright Green Technology can prepare a full ROI analysis to support product selection and forecast the savings over the project lifetime.
Heinz ‘means biz’ for Bright Green Technology
November 25th, 2011H.J. Heinz Company Limited in Hayes, Middlesex has revamped the main reception to an extremely high standard - and they needed a finishing touch!
The Heinz marketing team decided to install four premium A0 illuminated displays to create a feature wall for the latest product promotion posters.
The slim, mitre free Bright Green Edge LED poster frame was perfect. At just 35mm thick, it was exactly the high quality and contemporary look that the designers needed.
As well as the appearance, functionality was important too. Bright Green’s LED lighting technology means the product is maintenance free and cheap to run. Additionally, the secret door locking system enables staff to easily and quickly change the poster without using a key.
The client was delighted with the result; bright, even displays, which are low energy, low carbon, low maintenance and easy to update.
Bright Green Lights Up Subway
September 26th, 2011When Subway - the sandwich fast food outlet- wanted to sign their new site in Ross on Wye they turned to NIS Signs in Leicester to provide their instantly recognizable branding.
Part of the brief was to provide illumination for their internal, external and totem signs. The requirement was for a low energy, zero maintenance and well proven system.
The lighting solution put forward by NIS was Bright Green MatrixTM , an LED backlighting system designed to replace fluorescent tubes offering a more economic and reliable method of lighting. The lighting choice was approved by Subway’s U.S. building control following a series of tests and viewing physical samples.
Manufactured by Bright Green Technology, Bright Green Matrix TM is supplied in 6 standard sizes from 1ft to 6ft (300mm - 1800mm) replicating the most common ‘tube’ sizes. The LEDs typically use 80% less power than a tube, eliminate ongoing maintenance and ensuring the client’s branding looks great 24/7.
NIS Sales Director, Simon Jaggs commented, “We have used Bright Green Matrix TM on a number of projects and found it has an excellent light output, very easy to install and reliable. I therefore had no hesitation in recommending it to our client.”
Great Day at the Races for Bright Green Technology
September 26th, 2011When a fast turnaround was needed to illuminate bar and drinks shelving for the new Tanqueray Bar at Goodwood Racecourse it was Bright Green Technology who got the call.Once under starter’s orders, Bright Green had only 10 days to produce the LED backlit panels and deliver them to site. The installation was a great success and the bar was completed in time for the week long festival, Glorious Goodwood, which commenced on the 26th July.
The bar top and front were illuminated along its entire 14 meter length. In addition a 10 meter drinks display shelf was lit at the back of the bar. Bright Green Light Panel was supplied as 30 panels, which were then overlaid with frosted glass. All panels were installed using the Bright Green Control dimming system, allowing 0-100% brightness adjustment from a single point.
Bright Green Light Panel uses LED edge lighting technology to evenly illuminate acrylic sheet. The low energy panels are slim, easy to install and ideal for incorporation into graphic displays, light walls and architectural features.
Bright Green Technology offers a fast manufacturing and delivery service for custom sizes and specifications.
Britain from the Air Illuminated by Bright Green Technology
October 19th, 2010On display in Bath City Centre until the end of February 2011, ‘Britain from the Air’ is a stunning collection of more than 100 large scale images by Britain’s foremost aerial photographers, developed jointly by Wecommunic8 and the Royal Geographical Society (with IBG).
Wecommunic8 are experts at creating street galleries and the brains behind this exciting project. The large images, over 1m square, are available for viewing 24/7 close to the Abbey in Bath.
Illuminating the displays at night with fluorescent tubes has always been problematical. Project Director Chris Bridge from Wecommunic8 wanted something more practical, friendlier to the planet and more consistent with the environmental theme running through the exhibition.
Chris contacted Bright Green Technology looking for a solution and following trials selected Bright Green Matrix to down light the graphics.
Chris commented, “When we started, LED technology was not available and we used 150 watt floods! Now with the team at Bright Green Technology we have a great solution that gives excellent light quality for our photos. In addition during daytime their sleek design blends into our display and they need less maintenance”.
An 1810mm Bright Green Matrix ‘stick’ is used to light each of the 100 displays - illuminating the graphic and the pavement below. Each ‘stick’ consumes only 15W, in contrast to the 70W power use of a typical 6’ tube. Storage and handling is also much easier with Bright Green Matrix since their robust design prevents damage.
The outdoor exhibition was opened with the enthusiastic support of Michael Palin who is the President of the Geographical Society and it will remain in situ for public viewing until the end of February 2011.
This was the second of two projects where Wecommunic8 have installed Bright Green Matrix. The first, an outdoor exhibition for Care International was created outside the Tate Modern in London and enjoyed by thousands of visitors - day and night.
Stunning Taxi Top Advertising
July 13th, 2010Bright Green Technology has completed the first phase of a contract to supply LED illuminated taxi media signs to TaxiTop Norway, based in Oslo.
“We selected Bright Green Taxi following a careful review of the market”, commented Øystein Hansen of TaxiTop Norway. The build quality, the large viewing area, the high illumination level and the sleek design have proved to be perfect for our clients”.
‘Bright Green Taxi TM’ is a roof-mounted taxi media system incorporating state of the art LED design to deliver a stunning, reliable and easy to operate alternative to conventional signs.
Based on Bright Green EdgeTM technology, the blade is just 36mm wide - dramatically reducing wind resistance, allowing quick posting and creating a sleek appearance.
The signs in Oslo have been fitted to a fleet of Mercedes cars creating a vibrant new media opportunity which has rapidly won a place on media schedules. The restricted media opportunities available in Norwegian cities make taxi advertising a welcome addition for multinational and local clients alike.
Bright Green Taxi is in use around the world in countries as diverse as Turkey, Canada, Kuwait, USA, Serbia, Kenya and now Norway. Clients can customise elements of the design to suit their local requirements including the addition of illuminated ‘for hire ‘or branded signs.
Bright Green Taxi is designed with the operator in mind. It’s built to last from top quality components, reliable, brightly lit, quick to install and easy to post. Because there are no fluorescent tubes to replace, clients can focus on selling advertising rather than operating signs.
Shining a Light at the Florence Nightingale Museum
July 6th, 2010 The Florence Nightingale Museum located next to St Thomas’s Hospital in London has recently undergone a £1.4M redevelopment. The designers were keen to incorporate LED illumination to backlight the graphic panels which form a continuous display around the perimeter of the Legacy Room.Bright Green Technology supplied over 50 meters of Bright Green PanelTM to backlight a series of photographs depicting the life and times of Florence Nightingale.The 30 individual panels - some nearly 3 meters in length were powered by just nine mains transformers, including a new 240W unit to speed up installation time.
Bright Green Edge Light Panel was specified for its excellent light diffusion, low power consumption, zero maintenance and the slim design.
What a Vue!
April 2nd, 2010Westfield shopping centre is the newest addition for the VUE cinema chain. With state of the art digital screens, jaw-dropping surround sound and super-sized 3D, this is the cinema of the future.
Four large illuminated displays, three measuring 4 x 3m and one slightly smaller, are situated around the foyer area. Each is backlit with Bright Green Matrix, the latest LED product from Bright Green Technology.
Designed to offer a real alternative to fluorescent tubes, Bright Green Matrix ensures a bright and evenly lit display with no striping. Perspective Signs, based in Ipswich, chose Bright Green Matrix following successful trials which demonstrated fantastic stand-out even in the bright ambient light around the cinema. Simple installation, with long ‘stick’ lengths, made fitting the system quick and easy.
With the displays lit for 15 hours a day - power savings of up to 70%, a 50,000 hour lifetime and virtually zero maintenance were big benefits when compared to traditional fluorescent tubes.
Gordon Sutton, MD at Perspective Signs commented “Having run trials with Bright Green Matrix we were confident that this was the ideal product for such a prestigious site. The quality of the illumination and the supporting economic data make this product hard to beat”.
Bright Green Matrix is stocked and distributed by the Robert Horne Group.
Bright Green Matrix illuminates the Dark Ages
March 30th, 2010The Victoria & Albert Museum in London, has recently opened its new £30 million Medieval & Renaissance Galleries to the public. With artefacts spanning a period from AD300 to 1600 displayed over 10 galleries and 4 floors - the project has been a major undertaking.
Bright Green Matrix was specified to backlight a series of stained glass windows to give the effect of daylight streaming through the glass. High performance and reliability were critical since the glass, once in position, is very difficult to move.
The system was supplied in 1875mm, 1250mm and 625mm long ‘sticks’ to light areas as large as 2m x 2.5m. Bright Green Technology also supplied dimmable power supplies which allow the curators the ability to adjust the light levels if required.
With a power and carbon saving of over 70% when compared to fluorescent tubes Bright Green Matrix is fast becoming the preferred choice for illuminating large displays, illuminated signs and outdoor media sites.
Uplighting with Bright Green Matrix
March 8th, 2010 Appleton Signs has just completed an installation in Spain. Supplying and project managing the project proved to be a challenging but rewarding experience.The client, an Engel & Volkers property business, needed their new premise to standout from the surrounding retail outlets. The challenge for the local Spanish architects and Appleton Signs was that the corner plot had a long, curved facia section which needed bright, even illumination. This was difficult to achieve with fluorescent tubes. In addition, a key request from the client was reduced power and maintenance - as well as robustness for transport.
Working closely with the Robert Horne Group, the agreed solution was Bright Green Matrix. A proven LED backlighting system which uses high performance 1 watt LEDs encased within a robust aluminium housing. Different length Matrix ‘sticks’ within the range enabled a linear installation of 21 metres accommodating the curve of the facia to down light onto the sign. The 1 watt LEDs ensured excellent illumination across the 600mm depth of the facia.
With energy saving of 80% over ‘tubes’ and a 50,000 hour lifetime the client was delighted with the solution. Luke Appleton of Appleton Signs commented, “Mark Tomlinson from Robert Horne found us the perfect solution for this project. Bright Green Matrix was very simple to install and ticked all the boxes we needed for our client”.
