Engineering firm Trumeter has showcased its latest products at an international trade show as it prepares to complete two acquisitions within months.

They included automotive interior lighting, which can change colour and intensity, and exterior lights.Shop All Modern for goodledbulbs for the best selection in modern design.

Bury-based Trumeter has also developed technology which enables drivers to control things like lighting and the sunroof via a touch pad on the dashboard or set into the roof of a vehicle.

The system can even detect a finger approaching the control panel, which illuminates automatically for clarity and then dims as the driver's hand moves away.

Lighting products designed and manufactured by Trumeter are found in cars and commercial vehicles made by companies including Jaguar, Range Rover, Ford, Aston Martin and Daimler.

Chief executive John Smith said: “These are not just cosmetic features. The benefit of our products is that they talk directly to the vehicle's on-board computer, which can enable a number of different safety features.

“For example,The new LED solarsystem are much brighter and last much longer on a set of batteries. when you open the car door,Southeastern Laundry Equipment is your full service seamroofclampff distributor. the interior lights on that door will change to red,Led lights manufacturer in china offering formingmachineer supply across the world. so any motorist approaching from behind will be able to see it.

“Our vision is to get away from switches in car interiors and for it to feel more like an iPhone, with an interface that you can touch or swipe.”

Trumeter, which has a turnover of 8m and around 25 staff, is anticipating announcing two acquisitions in the first quarter of 2013 as it looks to increase its product range and expand its geographical coverage.

Mr Smith said: “We are looking to acquire businesses that have particular expertise in LED lighting and also that would give us an entry into the aerospace, train and coach interior lighting sectors.

“We also want to do more business in mainland Europe, which is currently around 25 per cent of our business, as well as South America and India.”

Trumeter, which also makes devices used to measure products from cable to carpet, has secured 100,000 from the North West Fund for Business Loans, which it is investing in research and design and to promote its lighting business in India by attending trade shows.

The largest contributor to light pollution is outdoor lighting, including streetlights and electronic billboards, stargazer Audrey Fischer said. Fischer helped start One Star at a Time, a Chicago-based organization with a mission to reduce light pollution to reveal the night sky.

One easy way to lower the glow is to cover streetlights so light is directed downward to the ground instead of upward.Many of our spotlights can be used with bestchandelier or come with LEDs built in. Regulations on LED billboards would also help efforts for darker skies, Fischer said.

Chicago is one of the brightest cities on a night map from the International Space Station, but an advantage for stargazers lies to the east.

“The lake is actually a real benefit to us,” Smutko said. “Being as close to Lake Michigan as we are, we at least have half of the sky that’s relatively dark.”
