Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport to install LED lighting

Frequent fliers know that it's not every trip takes off at exactly the perfect moment – and struggling to find your car or hang onto your luggage in a poorly-lit parking lot at 3 a.m. is anything but enjoyable. Thankfully, Atlanta's Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport will soon be brightening its lighting technology by installing light-emitting diodes in some of its parking facilities.
The new LED lighting will be installed in the north and south covered parking lots, helping make those early morning or red-eye trips a little easier on weary passengers. Travellers could be enjoying the LEDs' benefits as early as April of this year.
"We are happy to provide greatly improved lighting for our passengers using these parking facilities," Aviation General Manager Louis Miller said in a press release. "LED lights are brighter, last longer and use less energy than other options, providing savings for the Airport and reducing our carbon footprint."
Miller added that the new lights are just the beginning of the airport's commitment to energy-efficiency and sustainability.
If you want to enjoy the benefits of LED lighting a little closer to home, you can set up your own LED rope lights in your living room! Rope lighting adds a cool, soothing glow to any room of the house, while helping to cut down on energy costs.  www.bgocled.com

Audi highlights LED technology in Super Bowl spot

For many, the most exciting part of the Super Bowl isn't the football – it's the commercial breaks! The most expensive day in advertising sees a spat of new, delightful ads, including some by traditional sponsors like Budweiser and Coca-Cola. This year, luxury automaker Audi got in on the action with a spot that highlighted their LED headlight technology.
The clever advertisement featured a group of vampires enjoying a party in the woods, complete with guitars, snacks and (naturally) some sanguine beverages. A latecomer arriving to the shindig forgets himself for a moment and drives up with his Audi S7's LED lights – which mimic daylight – shining directly into the partygoers, instantly zapping his buddies.
"In the spot, Audi LEDs – which at 5500 Kelvin produce the closest recreation of daylight available – put an end to the vampire party, and perhaps, to the greater vampire trend in pop culture," Scott Keogh, chief marketing officer of Audi of America, told LEDs Magazine.
Even if you don't have room in the budget for a brand-new Audi, you can still put some LEDs in your garage! LED rope lights are the perfect addition to any car port, adding energy-efficient lighting that helps you safely navigate in the day or the night – unless, of course, you're a vampire.   www.bgocled.com
