The world's largest LED light installation has been notated as"the perfect marriage of engineering,technology and creativity"by Guinness adjudicator Jack Brockban. What came about as a naming ceremony project for the clean energy advocates Oltin Yo Gtl,ended as a record breaking deal.Event details include:
Date: 22nd July 2012 Location: Shurtan,Uzbekistan Number of LED Lights: 1,012,840 Length of Lighting Cables: 14.88 miles Length of Power Cables: 8.7 miles Power Required: 302 kilowatts Area of Picture Light: 441 square miles.
Guinness World Record requirements included(info courtesy of Oltin Yo Gtl):
All of the LED lights must be turned on simultaneously for at least five seconds.If this does not happen,the attempt has failed.Two experienced timekeepers(e.g.from a local athletics club)must time the attempt with stopwatches accurate to 0.01 seconds.The image must be recognizable to a suitable extent.LED lights used must be commercially available.LED lights must be anchored securely to the chosen surface before they are turned on.The image is disqualified if all LED lights are not turned on simultaneously.Two independent witness statements must count the LED lights used before they are turned on.
Managing over 1,000,000 LED lights is quite the task,but the long life span of the LED makes it easier than say….1,000,000 incandescents.For more information visit: Oltin Yo Gtl.
