We had a sneaking suspicion that there was an ulterior motive behind Raleigh getting lit up as the “world’s first LED city,” and aside from savings tons of dough on energy bills over the next decade or so, it seems to make motorists feel a good bit safer, too. According to a before and after survey conducted by Mindwave Research, the number of respondents who “perceived the garage as very safe increased by 76-percent after the LED fixtures were installed.” Admittedly, the newfangled lighting certainly added a new level of brightness to the situation, and the number of individuals who gave the garage an overall rating of “excellent” increased by 100-percent in response. The (unnecessarily lengthy) survey also added a few more minor figures to further prove that LED lighting is simply superior to the other stuff , but we’re not yet sure if Cree will successfully use this ammunition to grab even more contracts to freshen up the city lights.
