SUNNYVALE, CA and SCOTTSBURG, IN–(Marketwire – August 30, 2010) – In Scottsburg, Indiana, a new generation of high-intensity lights is illuminating the city’s streets. They’re among the nation’s first street lights to feature Light Emitting PlasmaT (LEP) technology from LUXIM. As some US cities switch off their street lights to close budget gaps, Scottsburg is taking bold action to upgrade its municipal lighting with an energy-efficient alternative. The transition is helping to create up to 50 local “green” jobs. By the end of the project, more than 600 LEP-powered street lights will be deployed across the city in fixtures designed and manufactured locally by Scottsburg-based Stray Light Optical Technologies, Inc. The installation will cut energy use in half and save the city $70,000 per year.
