The Bright Green path to enlightenment:

Bright Green Technology exists to address one specific fact: fluorescent backlighting is simply unsustainable.

They waste energy, are expensive to maintain, dangerous to dispose of and don’t provide consistent, high-quality illumination. (Click here for the nine major problems with fluorescents.)

Bright Green solutions are solid-state LED backlighting systems, designed from the ground up to solve the problems created by fluorescent displays.

We call it Sustainable Backlighting™ and it delivers the best possible display quality at the lowest cost – both environmentally and financially.

Technology Highlights

Bright Green’s Sustainable Backlighting™ solves all of the problems associated with fluorescent tubes in one bold stroke.

  • One eighth the energy consumption
    Leaving out the waste associated with maintenance, heat generation (air conditioning) and ‘always on’ inefficiency. More on the energy story…
  • Zero maintenance
    The LEDs in our systems last 6-10 years, slowly degrading rather than suddenly failing. (You can replace them at 70% brightness in around 6 years or leave them for longer). There’s no need to visit in-between.
  • Easy to replace and recycle
    There is no mercury, argon, xenon, phosphor salts, or tungsten. And the whole system is 98% recyclable by weight.
  • No efficiency loss if turned off
    Unlike fluorescents, they can be programmed to turn off when not needed, saving even more energy and carbon.
  • No significant heat
    They’re cool to the touch and create no air-conditioning burden.
  • Bright, even illumination
    No striping, no loss of perceived brightness. Optimized for media use: warm skin tones, clean whites, vivid colors. The Quality Story…
  • More scope for creativity
    They’re dimmable and programmable.

Sustainable backlighting in Grand Central Terminal

I’ve been in New York all this week looking after the first US installation of ‘Matrix’ our direct LED backlighting system. The location couldn’t be better ..

Living in the present

For some time now, I’ve found myself talking about the future in meetings - how the next generation of solid state illumination will be brighter AND more efficient
