Light-Emitting Roof Tiles

October 15th, 2007

The roof has historically focused on one primary function: keeping out the elements. New technologies, as present in Light-Emitting Roof Tiles, allow the integration of additional functions within roof surfaces. Manufactured by Lambert Kamps, the transparent roof tiles are integrated light-emitting diodes (LEDs) and designed to display text, pictures, and other graphical content in multiple colors. Information may also be animated, such as with an illuminated news trailer. Light-Emitting Roof Tiles also come with their own self-supporting solar-photovoltaic power system. via transmaterial

    Thats solid. Hopefully there are no laws or bans against illuminated roof signs on residential houses.

    I think that Goverment related agnecies may not allow you to have this for unlicensed AD-Info on residental zone.
