USA - Science fiction becomes science reality this Autumn and Strong Entertainment Lighting will Power the Future. Strong's 10,000W Britelight Super 10 will be the energy source powering several competing space elevator climbers up a crane-suspended vertical ribbon. The Elevator: 2010 Climber Competition, being held in Mountain View, California from 30 September - 2 October, challenges teams from all over the world to design and build a space elevator climber prototype."With a 75-year heritage of success, we¹re looking to the future. We have been lighting NASA's Space Shuttle launch pad for more than five years and now we have the opportunity to light a new way to the stars," said Paul Rabinovitz, Strong vice president. "Because space elevators were once considered science fiction, Elevator:2010 is truly a revolutionary effort and we are excited to be the lighting source that powers the competition."
