[{"type":"text","content":"\n \n\n\n\nFARMINGDALE, New Jersey, February 29 /PRNewswire/ --\n\n Dialight Corporation has joined forces with two of North America's\nleading manufacturers in the transit bus and motor coach market, Hadley and\nNew Flyer, to provide the industry's first complete LED-based interior\nlighting system.\n\n\n\n Dialight LED modules already hold 80% of the North American bus exterior\nlight market, and the new interior LED strip lights build on Dialight's\nexpertise in this sector to provide a cost-effective and reliable alternative\nto traditional fluorescent interior lighting.\n\n\n\n Dialight's new LED strip lights are set to be introduced into the New\nFlyer fleet for a 500-bus North American transit property within a Hadley\nhousing.

Its products include urban transit\nbuses, hybrid buses, alternative fuel transit buses, electric trolleys, and\nshuttle buses for airports, car rental and park a...
