We’ve heard that LED Lighting is the future, and it appears
that absolutely everything is jumping on the exciting new possibilities that
LED Lighting can provide a number of people from different industries and
different walks of life.
One of the best uses for LED Lighting is human-centric
efforts of course – such as LED Rope Lighting and LED Strip Lighting being used
to vastly improve human safety in care homes, and we find that it doesn’t get
much more human centric than making vast changes and rapid improvements to
things which have always been a very long-existing problem.
Take rail crossings, for instance. A very typically
problematic foot crossing in England faced a number of problems by design – a rather
ill-thought out situation involving two entrances to the crossing being quite
some way away from the railway line. To Cross these tracks, someone would typically
have to traverse a rather steep set of steps and cross the railway line on the
top of them. Even worse, the crossing itself was not at a very typical 90
degree angle and was instead skewed.
Needless to say, this was extremely dangerous for anyone
crossing, especially in dim light. The complaints were numerous, and in poor
light conditions, it was very possible for a crossing pedestrian straying onto
the anti-trespass guards and of course risking falling in front of a moving
train.
Of course, that doesn’t bear thinking about, and Network
Rail were very quick to address this issue. They identified usage of LED
Lighting to compliment brand new crossing panels as a risk reduction, and set
the LED Lights to run along the edge of this once-dangerous crossing.
Pedestrians would be guided across safely in poor light conditions, and the lifespan
of LED Lighting would ensure that this solution would work for very many years
to come. The issue of the power running out for this was also negated thanks to
LED Lighting – LED Lighting in itself can be solar powered.
All in all, LED Lighting is cost effective, viable, durable
and a great solution for very many problems which exist with ongoing
commitments to make the world around us safer.
