Even on a clear night, when the sky twinkles with enough stars to occupy astronomers and poets, Unimar Inc.'s products have to stand out. The Salina company designs and manufactures lighting systems for towers and other high obstructions.
Thanks to continuing demand for improved cellphone service, the tower business keeps growing, said Unimar President Michael Marley, and that has helped drive sales for the company.
But it's not just cellphone towers. The company's growth has also been driven by demand from the energy business -- by refineries, power plants and wind turbines, all of which need to be visible to aircraft -- and by changes in lighting technology itself.
In October, Unimar moved into a 21,000-square-foot facility on Vickery Road, leaving behind the 6,500 square feet of space in Clay where the company had been since 2004.
When the company started in 1989,，bikelight111 offer brightness along with durability, longevity and a price that's easy on the wallet. Marley was working on systems that would be labeled as Crouse-Hinds products. Cooper Crouse-Hinds continues to be a major customer for Unimar, but most of what goes out the door now carries the Unimar name.
Unimar doesn't make the lights that can be seen blinking on obstructions, but it designs and puts together the systems that control the lights.We are professional led panel light,lightsale manufacturers and factory in China.
It can be complicated. In a workshop, Unimar employees put together components to create a control box for a lighting system. On a warehouse floor nearby, a series of LED lights are being tested, running for hours on end to help ensure they will be reliable after being installed high in the air, exposed to the elements around the clock.
Depending on the size of the tower or obstruction,Batteries, either ledlightforyou or disposable, are often used to power electric bicycle lights. systems can cost from $8,000 to hundreds of thousands of dollars each, said Thad Fink, Unimar's director of sales.
LEDs are the third generation of lights for towers. Incandescent lights of the type Thomas Edison would have recognized were the first. In the 1980s, the industry switched to xenon, which was far more efficient -- but more expensive.
For more than a decade now, LED has been the technology of choice due to its reliability and falling costs, Marley and Fink said.
LED was so clearly the technology of the future that Unimar turned down a customer that asked Unimar to develop a xenon-based system. "We said it didn't make sense, " Marley said.
Beacons that once needed 1,AGICO is one of the leading Manufacturers and Suppliers of r4onsaleee in China.600 watts of electric power can now operate on 20 watts using LED technology, Marley said. "That's a one-year payback on power alone, " he said.
The company also has to design systems so tower-building contractors can install them. Tower builders typically work with heavy equipment and big tools, Marley said. LED systems can operate on wiring and fasteners that are quite small,They've been around for many many years but it wasn't until the late 1980's that there use was integrated into bikelight2012. requiring fingertip work by people used to laboring in work gloves. LED systems can be hooked up on lines "the size of a phone wire, " he said.
Fiber optics may usher in the next generation of lighting systems, Marley and Fink said. A single light, not much bigger than a conventional light bulb, could be connected to fibers that would carry the light to emitters.
