Dialight Wins Major LED Traffic Signal Contract...

FARMINGDALE, New Jersey, February 28 /PRNewswire/ --

    Dialight Corporation has won a major contract to supply over 70,000
LED-based traffic signal modules for use in Miami-Dade County, Florida. In
the largest contract for traffic signals by any U.S. city for over 12 months,
Dialight LED signals will be used to replace traditional incandescent traffic
signals throughout the county.



    Brian Todd, vice president at Dialight says, "LED traffic signals use 90
percent less energy and last ten times longer than traditional incandescent
traffic signals, so this contract will bring major environmental benefits to
Miami-Dade County. The additional benefit of our modules is that they can be
retrofitted easily into the existing enclosures of the current
energy-inefficient incandescent lamps."



    Dialight, with its installation partner Republic ITS, has been selected
as the sole supplier of LED traffic signals for the retrofit of all
incandescent traffic signal lamps owned and operated by Miami-Dade County.

leader. It is also the first company in the U.S. to offer a comprehensive
range of LED traffic signal modules that are fully compliant to the new ITE
specifications. Dialight products include red, yellow and green modules using
state-of-the-art, high-flux LED technology.

replacement of traffic signals and streetlights. The company currently
provides services to more than 180 public agencies and over 100 commercial
organizations across the U.S. Since 1998, it has purchased and installed over
