Luminator Technology Group's new LED full-color stationary display sign system for bus and rail mass transit systems.
Luminator Technology Group (LTG) today introduced it’s full-color LED 5mm pitch stationary display sign system. Available in single or double-sided versions in NEMA 4X enclosures, this fine-pitch model is rugged, reliable, and readable.

Customized service updates can be created and immediately sent to the remote displays through the System User Console Message Studio software.
Software is remotely upgradeable in the field
Diagnostics monitoring is locally stored and reported back to the central server

Luminator Technology Group's new high-brightness LED stairwell light ideal for paratransit bus lifts and ramps.
Additionally, LTG will introduce a high brightness LED stairwell light for applications such as wide door lifts and ramps. Paratransit bus lifts and ramps require more light than a standard bus stairwell to ensure suitable vision and safety for paratransit passengers as they enter and leave the vehicle during dark conditions.
To meet this need LTG has created a stairwell light that produces a stunning 236 foot-candles of white light and it is significantly brighter than many standard stairwell lights.
LTG will feature this new, high brightness stairwell light and the full-color display sign system at the upcoming APTA Bus & Paratransit Conference Products & Services Showcase on May 9, 2017. For more information and to view this new product, stop by booth # 431.
