Light Tape® on Benton Metro Footbridge Newcastle Upon Tyne

Benton Metro Station is on the Tyne and Wear Metro Yellow line between Four Lane Ends and Palmersville. A former railway station, it retains many of the original station buildings. The Station serves Benton in North Tyneside just north of Newcastle Upon Tyne, in the North East of England.

During 2011 Benton Metro Station Footbridge was upgraded to give better disabled access, providing lift access to both platforms.

Light Tape® has been used to create a modern display lighting effect to both lift shafts and the main bridge walkway.

Light Tape® International Installations

Light Tape® Nike Event by Gallagher Designs USA

Light Tape® was used to add the finishing lighting touches both above, in 1” wide and below on the plinth in 6”wide on the Nike products display stands shown in the pictures above and directly below. I’m sure you will agree that the effect proves more eye catching than the other displays featured at the trade event. The Light Tape® adds a touch of finesse that is both in keeping with the clean, no nonsense Nike product arrangement on the stand whilst not overpowering the display.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Light Tape® Home Theatre Lighting by Finite Solutions Leeds UK

Light Tape® Home Theatre Lighting by Finite Solutions Leeds UK

Light Tape® was fitted at a relatively low level in a home cinema room, offering a dual purpose solution by providing added interest to the room design with the simple, yet effective use of light decoratively, whilst also providing a low cost visual aide that provides a non-invasive, non-glare source of edge lighting that can help prevent tripping while walking in the room in low light levels.

Petrol Station Canopy Light Tape® Austria

 

Once again Light Tape® has put the finishing touch to a Petrol Station Canopy this time in Austria. Fitted with 1” wide in Extreme Rich Red colour, using the Snap-N-Light system, Light Tape® provides an outstanding alternative to Neon and Cold Cathode that is easy to fit, more economical to run and looks just great!

Shush FM Nightclub LumaGrip™ stair lighting Light Tape UK

When light is needed on a stair case usually the only source to be found is either on the ceiling or on the wall. Reasonable I guess, that’s where normally is. But, tripping happens mostly because the steps themselves can be thrown in to shadow by the very people walking up and down them. The solution….. LumaGrip™.  LumaGrip, shown here at the Shush FM Nightclub is fitted on to the tread of the stair in a standard stair nosing, illuminated by Light Tape®, LumaGrip provides light that can be seen clearly from both the top and bottom of the stairs without glare and has a anti-slip surface for added safety, complying with Health and Safety regulations.

Light Tape Edge Lit Acrylic Light Tape® Innovations USA

 

Light Tape® can also be used to provide the light source on an Edge Lit Acrylic sign. Once fitted the effect is stunning with the lit design appearing to float within its acrylic frame. This offers a chic alternative to the usual Neon 1950’s style of lit signage.

2” Light Tape® on Restaurant step edges USA

Light Tape® is often used to provide a “different” kind of interior decoration. In the restaurant shown above, the 2” Light Tape used is also fulfilling a practical function by highlighting the front edges of the steps leading from the main dining room to an elevated area. This not only addresses a possible trip hazard, but effectively adds an additional decorative element too. And, the beauty of using Light Tape® is that the running costs prove to be much less than that of other decorative lighting.

Light Tape® bar under lighting 

What a fantastic effect! 1/2” Natural Blue Light Tape® was fitted beneath the counter of the bar providing under lighting that creates a stunning effect, creating a stylish atmosphere with a fun element.

Balcony Lighting Snap-N-Light, Light Tape® Greece

Add a simple line of light around the upper and lower edges of the balcony areas, as seen on these apartments, to add instant interest and definition. You can create the” sky scraper” effect and bring design ideas to life whilst producing an effect that is not over stated proving that less is defiantly more.

Micro Branding Light Tape® Singapore

 

Promote your company/product/brand or service easily and with a dash of panache using Micro Branding with Light Tape®. 2” Light Tape® was used to back light a printed clear vinyl. The two products are fed into a casing that is fixed around the top edge of a “poser “table.  The information displayed can then be shown lit on steady or flash setting and can be powered using a rechargeable long life battery. This offers an alternative, ideal solution for promotional stands and events. Get your message across and noticed with the Light Tape® Micro Branding effect.

Infinity Mirrors Light Tape® Greece

Not just a mirror, these are almost pieces of art. The infinity mirrors featured here have Light Tape® integrated into their design which has transformed them in to eye catching, design features using light in a new and exciting way that will create an instant ice breaker at any gathering. Truly unusual and visually stunning.

Kitchen Plinth Lighting

Plinth lighting in the kitchen is fast becoming as popular as under wall unit lighting and it’s easy to see why. Using just ½” wide Light Tape® the light reflects off the floor of the room producing a truly unusual and visually stunning addition, to the more traditional wall and ceiling lighting.

 Kitchen Mood Lighting

Now this is what I call different! What a truly spectacular effect. Warm and cosy yet very, very modern with a futuristic mix of the Light Tape® above and below the cupboards.

Bar Edge Lighting Light Tape® South Africa

Light Tape® is used here to add a touch of light to the inner edge of a bar counter using 1” natural blue tape. The general effect fits right in with the fun, design of this ultra modern bar, complimenting the design with a final flourish of lit colour that matches the recessed design at the back of the bar perfectly.

Celldwelller Klayton Light Tape®

And finally: Light Tape® provides the perfect lighting effect here when used to highlight the drum kit and frame the set for up and coming artist Calldweller Klayton. The lighting effect creates a very atmospheric stage setting that has great appeal.

Light Tape® Battery Backup Emergency Lighting System

The Light Tape® Battery Backup Emergency Lighting System was originally designed and produced by Lister Electrical of York, and installed at The National Trust’s Nunnington Hall in North Yorkshire. The system is designed to provide a battery backup to operate Light Tape® as an Emergency Egress Light in case of mains power failure.

Light Tape® Battery Backup Emergency Lighting System includes a mains input to a 12V transformer, which in turn runs a trickle charging unit attached to a 12V 4Ah backup battery.

In application should the mains power be cut off a relay switch immediately connects power from the backup battery to the Light Tape® DC Power Supply to drive the Light Tape®, providing sufficient light to exit the building avoiding trip hazards in the event of an emergency.

The backup system also features an override switch that can be used to operate the Light Tape® directly from the 12V transformer providing ancillary lighting.

In tests, the 12V 4Ah battery drove 5m of 25mm (1″) Light Tape® for 12 hours without needing to be recharged.

Light Tape® Animation helps to raise awareness of escalator safety

A Light Tape® Animated Pictograph can offer a new and more effective method to really get escalator users safety ‘dos n don’t s’ across and noted by the general public, because it makes the signs much more visual and therefore more eye-catching.

Most of the general public do not even register the safety pictographs which have to be displayed by law at the top and bottom on every escalator in the country a fact borne out by the high compensation payouts in recent escalator injury cases.

The Light Tape Animated sign offers something different to help prompt people to be more aware of the hazards of misusing and abusing this every day form of transportation between floors in Department stores, Airports, Exhibitions, Underground and train stations and within Leisure Parks etc.

 

How does it work: Rather than simply having the usual sticker on the side of the escalator showing, in pictures, what you should and should not do while using the moving stairway, the Light Tape Animation version would provide a sign showing the usual ‘do n don’t’ picographs but this time with the added benefit of light, with the pictures lighting up on a rolling on/off, on/off sequence to attract the eye to the hazard sign. This would also draw attention to each of the accepted/unaccepted behavior restrictions rather than them being overlooked due to a static mundane presentation.

Light Tape® Animations are only 1mm thick, light and very flexible, they can be fixed in place with double sided adhesive or sandwiched between glass or perspex for extra protection.

 

A Light Tape® Animated Sign is similar to neon, but far more realistic because it operates within a high-resolution printed image. The image is divided into several different sections that can be illuminated separately from one another. Each section can be programmed and sequenced to create the appearance of movement within the static printed image.

A Light Tape® Animated Sign provides an eye-catching, moving electronic display that utilises high quality, full colour digital images yet is as thin as a credit card! It is energy efficient – less than 60 watts per square meter, is virtually unbreakable, vibration and shock resistant, easy to install, very portable, and does not contain glass.

Applications include: Safety Signage, Branding Campaigns, Point of Sale Advertising, Trade Shows, Mobile Advertising, Entertainment and Sporting Events, Night Clubs and Bars, Hotels, Casinos, Concerts, Cinemas, Kiosks etc.
