The Step Lights comprise three power Light Emitting Diode Lights, driven by a dedicated LPA Excil LED Power Supply, and are used to illuminate the train door threshold and station platform interface. \n\nLED lighting is a health and safety requirement to aid the visually impaired. It offers an environmentally friendly and low life cycle cost alternative to other forms of lighting, providing long life at a fraction of the power consumption, particularly of halogen lamps. LPA Excil Electronics is a specialist supplier of all types of lighting for rail vehicle interiors, and has specialised in the development of LED lighting for these applications.\n\nPeter Pollock, Chief Executive, comments:\n\n'This latest contract demonstrates the quality of safety-critical electrical equipment produced by companies within the group, and our ability to supply key components for the huge and costly upgrading of London's underground rail system. I am confident that we are well placed to win further rail industry supply contracts over the coming months.' \n\n10 July 2008\n\n\nENQUIRIES:\n\n\n\n\n\nLPA Group plc\n\n\nTel: 01799 512844 \n\n\n\n\nPeter Pollock, Chief Executive \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLPA Excil Electronics\n\n\nTel: 01924 224100\n\n\n\n\nRobert Holmes, Managing Director\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLandsbanki Securities\n\n\nTel: 020 7426 9000 \n\n\n\n\nJeff Keating\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCollege Hill\n\n\nTel: 020 7457 2020\n\n\n\n\nGareth David \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis information is p...
