SVECHA

Scientific & production company, Ltd

    Svecha is a privately owned engineering firm founded in 1991. It is located in the town of Zelenograd, 40 km away from the center of Moscow and 15 km from the Sheremetevo international airport.
The company employs 20 full-time staff. Ten of them are scientists and engineers with expertise in electronics, lighting technology, metrology, and industrial design.
Reference direction of activity of the company - research, mining and production of signaling instrumentation on the basis of light emitting diodes - LED.
   In Russia the research work on research of capabilities of creation of traffic lights on light emitting diodes is scientific - SVECHA in 1992 - 1993 was executed in the initiative schedule. In 1994-96 SVECHA has elaborated and has organized production of traffic lights on light emitting diodes under the requirement specification which was matched UGAI Moscow. As a result of fulfillment of the indicated activity the traffic lights 28 types which are fulfilling conditions of the Russian standard GOST 25695 - are created 91. The substantiation of usage LED in signaling instrumentation, predictable parameters and some outcomes as of a beginning of 1997 are adduced in the review « Signaling instrumentation on light emitting diodes », published in the log-book "«Lighting engineering", № 5 for 1997.
In of October 1996 the series production of traffic lights on a task Government of Moscow started. More than 1500 traffic lights, including in Kremlin, in the main streets of downtown now are established
   Rigging center of Moscow was marked by LED traffic lights by authoritative printed publicity materials: Traffic report, May 4 1998г., Traffic technology international, April, - May 1998.
   The traffic lights of production of the SVECHA Company are established in cities of the Moscow, Nizhniy Novgorod and Tyumen areas, in cities Volgograd, of Perm etc. In September, 1998 the traffic lights on light emitting diodes are established in a central street of. Kiev - Krezschatik.
   Svecha has established successful co-operation with a number of Russian enterprises, including both component and material suppliers and users of our products. We use LEDs made by Hewlett-Packard and Nichia Chemical Industries.
   The intellectual property on the created and developed devices is protected in Russia by the patent and series of the testimonies of Russian Federation on useful models.

COMMODITY ( 1998-2002)

   The Traffic lights transport and pedestrian in a polycarbonate body (second generation). The second generation differs by higher service performances.
   The transport Traffic light « Motion on a reversible band » on LED with a varied signal (three or two signals in one body), is established about forty traffic lights on the third transport ring in Moscow.
   Obstruction light on LED for light marking of objects presenting a threat to security of motion of an air carrier.
   The road Sign "«Speed restriction" with a varied signal intended for speed control of motion of transportation facilities on highways, value of speed changes from 10 km\hs up to 190 km\hs with a step of 10 km\hs.
   The Traffic light for regulation of motion of trams.
   The Traffic lights, road Signs and obstruction lights are certificate.
   Coast navigational Lights intended for identification of a ship course and an altitude of shipping pass under bridges on bearings. Now four bridges through the Moscow - river and channel of a name of Moscow are equipped with coast navigational lights of production SVECHA.

SVECHA IN THE PRESS

   "Moscow is the unlikely location for one of the most comprehensive installation of advanced LED traffic signals. City authorities are now installing what is believed to be the largest number of the LED-only signals in the word. Local company Svecha has been promoting LEDs since 1993 and convinced the GAI (State Automotive Inspectorate) to trial 20 LED signals at one downtown junction. The signals survived the botter Moscow winter without trouble but the GAI then requested that an LED-only system be produced. When the first blue-green LEDs became available in 1996, Svecha manufactured a three-way LED-only unit , based on Hewlett-Packard LEDs, and to date more 1,000 signals have been installed in the city, covering the whole city center. Svecha is now selling to other Russian Cities."

"The European market is beginning to open with some 'pockets' of acceptance now adding to the credibility of the products. Svecha had recorded a notable success with installations in Moscow, where its Hewlett-Packard three-color LED signals have performed well, despite extreme temperature operation ranges…"
