but NO LED signs in the city where LED lights are produced. Interesting irony.

You are right, ItsGood. That is funny! May be time to give those "no LED sign laws" a second look. After all, if we are to be the "lighting capital of the world..."

Well, with Cummins Sign here at one time people know of that large Murfreesboro industry - but it went away.

Hmmm.. seems like some are confusing LED lights with garish neon signs? No really, LED lights come in many forms. Maybe the city will strike a better deal with the company to obtain and replace streetlights as they burn out, not months later.
Personally, I admit, I hate LED signs, billboards and what not. One of the most beautiful "signs" is the Harley-Davidson logo incorporated into its outside wall. Strong, tasteful, defined.

Geana, and expensive. Not all small business ventures can afford such. Plus, that is a corporate logo that is known by many. A small business such as Martin's could not afford such, nor would their logo be recognizable to the masses.

I take your point, though I'm not quite sure how Martin's signage fits in as far as an example. Nor can we compare NCS Power as a giant industry crowding out the small business. It's market is pretty much universal. Let's all look at the big picture. JOBS.

It's positive...jobs, jobs, jobs...at a time most of America is in recession...let our "little light" shine.

"Maybe the city will strike a better deal with the company to obtain and replace streetlights as they burn out, not months later"
City still would need labor to install lights that have burn out as this is only a manufacturer.

Yes, ItsGood. i didn't mean to imply that the NCS Power would "install" the lighting. My apologies for having two trains of thought running in one sentence.
better deal = obtaining the lighting from NCS Power at a better price than what they may currently pay
replace streetlights as they burn out, not months later = maybe the city has an insufficient supply of replacement lights or maybe they just don't know until a resident alerts them, but they do take months

I believe Murfreesboro's has plan to put stop lights at 50 foot intervals to stop all traffic for getting anywhere. The LED company may thrive as a result of poor city planning. While we are all waiting in traffic it would be a good time to view all the modern and efficient adds on LCD/LED signs. If that is ever legal again.
