The Urbana-based company Hughey & Phillips LLC is expanding its busniess of replacing incandescent obstruction lighting — the warning lights on towers and buildings with LED lights.

At present, the company has added a 50,000-square-foot building to its campus, giving it more than 70,000 square feet of space. The expansion creates more manufacturing, testing and office space, much of which will be dedicated to new product lines including its Horizon Series of LED lights.

Hughey & Phillips has received Federal Aviation Administration approval for its low-intensity LED light and expects to get led high bay light approval for a medium-intensity LED light by year-end. Those are two of at least five new products being developed at this time.
