    Infocomm Lighthouse has signed a letter of intent (LOI) with Sony Electronics Inc. to utilize Sony’s extensive resources in North America. Sony will provide national on-site service programs to Lighthouse’s existing and new customers for professional-grade LED video screens.

    The two companies expect to develop contract maintenance programs and remote system monitoring services catered to Lighthouse’s large screen LED display systems. Sony will staff and maintain a North American field service organization complete with emergency spare parts, priority hardware exchange programs, field engineers, and overnight shipping. Lighthouse Technology’s service and parts center, located in Irvine, Calif., will provide material and technical support to Sony’s service organization.

    Picadilly Circus Lighthouse Technologies has recently confirmed the contract for supplying a new LED screen at Samsung’s prestigious Piccadilly Circus site in London.

    The tender was co-ordinated by Lighthouse Northern Europe Sales Manager, Simon Taylor, and the P16i/o 16mm pixel pitch LED screen with 5,000 nit brightness will be installed this summer.

    The Samsung screen is positioned next to the Coca Cola Lighthouse screen and will become Samsung’s flagship interactive advertising site. “The P16 LED video screen is ideal for this site, as has already been proven in Piccadilly Circus,” comments Taylor. “Its very high resolution, accurate colour reproduction and down angled LEDs to give a perfect viewing angle from street level, makes it perfect for this type of high profile advertising application. We’re extremely proud to have secured this tender and look forward another successful project.”
