I got to browsing some more on the Panasonic site this evening and came across their “EVERLEDS Lighting” project. This will ne used on the Tokyo Sky Tree skyscraper project to be completed on 2011. The site is in Japanese but clicking on the Technology
New Tokyo Tower
link will show how some of the LED lighting will be used. Ever since I was a kid, LEDs have fascinated me. Cool burning, low power. Lately, they have become brighter making them viable for many more applications.
Here in the US, there are some LED based lighting projects but I am not aware of any to this extent. I’d love to see some if you have a link to share for US projects like this. I believe that cities could save lots of money with LEDs as the technology improves. Not sure they are up to street light brightness but they seem to do well for traffic lights.
Ok, I’ve seen loads of pictures that push me to want to visit Japan and heck, sometimes I want to move there. On this site, they have some night renderings that are gorgeous. Yeah, I know I haven’t traveled all over the US so I may be missing some things here but there’s something to be said about visiting a foreign country. If you have had the chance to travel abroad, you probably know what I mean. I lived in Bermuda for a while and I long to go back. Anyway I digress.
Awesome project to see the concept images of. I hope I can see it in person some day.
