Angstrom Lighting Awarded Contract to Brighten Los Angeles International (LAX) Airport

Hollywood, CA – May 9, 2006 – Angstrom Lighting today announced that it was awarded a contract to update the pylon lighting system at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX). The company will supply more than 2,000 state-of-the-art Color Kinetics ColorBlast fixtures that will improve the quality of the pylons’ appearance and decrease energy costs.

The main entry points at LAX are marked by 11 variable height pylons in the median of Century Boulevard and 15 pylons at the intersection of Century and Sepulveda Boulevards. The pylons vary in width from six to 12 feet and in height from 25 to 60 feet and are covered in tempered, frosted glass. They were completed in August 2000 using metal halide fixtures with color changers, which created a distinctive artistic signature for LAX.

“Lighting technology has greatly improved in the past six years, and we are thrilled to have the opportunity to both improve the color and illumination of the pylons and also decrease energy costs for LAX,” said Frans Klinkenberg, president & CEO of Angstrom Lighting. “LEDs improve almost all aspects of artificial light properties, including more choices and vibrancy of color, a longer life span, minimal maintenance requirements, and decreased power consumption of up to 75%.”

The contract was put out to bid on January 13, 2006 and Angstrom Lighting was awarded the contract March 21. The entire project will be completed in September and is estimated to cost $2.5 million.
