Dialight secures US $500,000 order for offshore heliports in Gulf Coast
Dialight (LSE: DIA.L), the innovative global leader in LED lighting technology, today announces that it has secured an order from a major oil & gas supplier in the Gulf Coast with a value totalling US$500,000. The order is for the installation of LED fixtures on 15 offshore heliports in the Gulf of Mexico. The lighting systems were provided in conjunction with solar panels through Dialight's strategic partner, Tetra West Technology, a Houston-based company specialising in offshore oil & gas applications.
The order consists of more than 1,300 solar powered LED lighting fixtures, allowing the offshore heliports to operate their required lighting completely off-grid.
With a concentrated number of oil & gas companies in the Houston area, providing a central hub for projects around the world, Dialight continues to invest in its dedicated sales force in the region, as the Company focuses on generating further orders in this market segment.
Roy Burton, Dialight's Group Chief Executive, said:
"Working in partnership with Tetra West Technology to provide this combined solar-powered LED lighting system has proved highly successful and, as a result, we expect to see further orders of this kind coming through in 2013. This type of solution enables us to access an attractive offshore oil & gas market in the Gulf of Mexico, which has the potential to include structures such as the large number of umanned platforms, which can benefit from the efficiencies that LED solar powered lighting can bring. Furthermore, we recognise the opportunity there is in the oil & gas market and are continuing to invest in our sales channel to capitalise on that"
