LED Architecture (photos)

blog.wired.com — Light-emitting diodes, or LEDs, are reinventing the look and feel of skylines, bridges, facades and other architectural surfaces around the globe. The light bulb is being unscrewed by energy-efficient LEDs that are both environmentally friendly and cost-effective. The $10.2 billion industry is growing to provide new design options for architects. Jun 29, 2006 View in Crawl 4

just relax. surface rust will happen very soon where as completely rusting through of any stress members will take several hundred years. while your waiting, find something better to bitch about.

I think you are off on the efficiencies of LED vs Fluorescent.While the current production generation of production LEDs are less efficient then fluorescents, this is about to change. Fluorescent lighting normally runs around 85 lumens/Watt, and read that LEDs are running at over 100 lumens/Watt in the lab.

My friend (who did and internship at uva) helped create moving images for Kabaret Prophecy, this club would be cool except for the loser clients that frequent it.
