San Pedro may be getting a very nice belated Christmas Present! After over 16
years of waiting, construction work is under way to install decorative blue LED
lights on San Pedro's Vincent Thomas Bridge. The light fixtures began to be installed
in last week of October. The project should be completed by January 30th, 2005.

LED lamps last 30 - 50 times longer that the incandescent lamps they replace,
and their low-current, high-efficiency operation delivers power savings of 80%
- 90% or more. Additionally, LED lamps produce little or no heat resulting in
lighted panels and switches that are cool-to-the-touch unlike those lit by incandescent
lamps. LED technology with its inherent energy efficiency makes an excellent
accompaniment to photovoltaic-based energy systems. With an average life span
of 100,000-plus hours (11 years), LEDs operate reliably year after year and
are virtually maintenance free.
Founded in 1983, LEDtronics® leads where others only follow when it comes
to designing, manufacturing and packaging state-of-the-art LEDs to meet the
world’s constantly changing lighting needs. Our inventive product line
encompasses an array of direct incandescent lamp replacement Based LEDs, low-cost
snap-in and relampable Panel Mount LEDs, high intensity sunlight-visible Discrete
LEDs, PCB LEDs circuit board status indicators, surface mount diodes SMT LEDs,
full-spectrum rainbow RGB LEDs, and Infra-Red (IR) LEDs.
