The Energy Story

Reducing carbon emissions with no cost penalty

Bright Green solutions use one eighth the energy and cause one eighth the carbon footprint of backlit advertising and signage.

To put that into perspective:

  • A single 6-sheet display using fluorescent tubes (x6), puts 3,048 pounds of carbon into the air every year.
  • The equivalent Bright Green display only generates 318 pounds of carbon – saving 2,730 pounds of carbon, every year, per display. This is about the same as average western household’s annual heating footprint (3,280 pounds ) for each and every 6-sheet display in the world.
  • Just replacing the world’s 6-sheet displays with Bright Green systems would save 30,000MW hours of energy every single day (not even including the larger billboards). That’s 30,000 tonnes of CO2.

With global warming pushing energy consumption up the political and commercial agendas, should we really be spending so much energy lighting up our advertising?
