Dialight Corporation has been awarded a $1.8 million contract to provide LED trackside signals for the New York City subway system. The LED signals are expected to save the city almost $1 million dollars a year in utility costs and maintenance.

Dialight will be updating 13,400 incandescent units, more than 50,000 of the subways signals, with LED modules. The modules are based on the latest high-flux LED and driver technology which are projected to provide an 85% energy savings to the city (read more about energy savings through LEDs in North Carolina and Toronto). The LEDs brightness levels are also being touted as providing a safer environment for transit workers.

“The new signals are being well received by the city’s transit workers, who have indicated they are performing extremely well, and that the saturated colors of the LEDs are much more visible, resulting in greater safety on the tracks,” stated Dialight business development manager, Laura Hoffmann.

For the past six years, Dialight had been working with the New York City Transit to develop these LED signal lights that can be easily installed into the wide variety of existing light fixtures and enclosures with minimal difficulty and cost.
