Reportedly, Panasonic has teamed up with TOBU TOWER SKYTREE Co., Ltd. to support LED lighting to brighten the world’s tallest free standing broadcast structure, the TOKYO SKYTREE(R), scheduled for completion in May 2012.

Only LED lighting will be used to illuminate the TOKYO SKYTREE. And Panasonic will be the sole supplier of LED lighting.

There are 1,995 LED lighting fixtures and a LED lighting display system to be installed in this 634-meter tower. Panasonic’s LED lighting not only offers excellent “quality of light” and “energy savings,” but it also promises “reliability,” which is a great advantage for lighting installed at high altitudes, such as the TOKYO SKYTREE.
