In the harsh environment of a port terminal, LEDs were not that common because no international standard for quality or durability existed. Therefore, the two companies jointly developed a reliable LED for port terminals and then contributed to the reduction of environmental loads by making this new product available on the market. In fact, this is the first LED to be approved for port terminal use by ClassNK.
