The 2nd generation road signs from Enviro8 use edge lit LED, providing a balance of low energy consumption without compromising light output and sign conspicuity
A Hong Kong-based firm says it is offering a new line of energy efficient LED road signs. Called Elumin8, the company claims the internally lit signs use the latest LED technology and provide a clean flat lighting surface. The firm has carried out research and development of the products over the last 12 months and says that the units benefit from the latest, low energy technology.

Based on a comparison with incandescent products, the firm says its new products provide an energy saving of over 60%. As well as being light emitting they are also enhanced with 3M retro reflective films to further boost visibility and these units are produced to all standard sizes required by road authorities. The LED signs have been designed to cater for a global market and tested to resist all climates from extreme heat to extreme cold, while they even work when submerged in water.

Elumin8 (Hong Kong) is a subsidiary of the privately owned Luminous Media Group of Companies. The group is a specialist lighting manufacturer with a focus on the key technologies of Electroluminescence, LED and solar power. Elumin8 Ltd specialises in the development and production of road safety products and illumination for the automotive and aeronautical industries.

    From density tests on a Mongolian gold mine project to an all-singing, all-dancing asphalt tester, Kristina Smith reports on some of the latest new products in materials testing. Perhaps understandably, nuclear density gauges can present contractors with some order to move them at all. “One of the problems with nuclear soil gauges is the restrictions on movement,” said John Lamond, Manufacturing. “If you are a contractor projects cross-border, it’s a real challenge to move a nuclear density gauge around.”
