This sign has flashing lights and not all of these lights
are on at any given moment in time. The S-11 Sparkle LEDs
were placed in the letter "C" as a test to determine
if they really were brighter than the existing S-11 bulbs
in the remaining letters.
The test revealed that the S-11 Sparkle LEDs have a larger
area of brightness and a more golden color than light bulbs.
They also turned on and off more quickly and cleanly because
they have no filaments.
Each of the S-11 Sparkle LEDs requires only 1.2 watts of
power instead of the 20 watts required for each of the S-11
light bulbs - a 94% savings in energy costs.
