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.
