November 2, 2005—The Cyberlux Corporation has completed a pilot project using next-generation LED solid-state emergency lighting at Kings Park High School in New York.
Cyberlux installed the emergency lighting system in the Emergency Situation Room at Kings Park High School. The pilot program, funded through a $10,000 grant from the New York State Senate, demonstrates the potential to use LED solid-state lighting to prepare schools and other shelters throughout the county to provide assistance to communities in the aftermath of natural disasters, terrorist attacks, electric grid failures and any other calamity that can cause widespread electricity blackouts.
Light emitting diodes (LEDs) are durable, energy efficient, cool to the touch and last more than 100 times longer than conventional incandescent lights, notes Cyberlux. The solid-state semiconductors are typically used in automobile dashboards and electronic devices, such as mobile phones. Cyberlux has developed a range of LED lighting products for residential, commercial, military and homeland security markets, including kitchen and closet task lighting and handheld emergency lighting products.
