We were greeted with a sea of blue and smiles at the Luminator stand, with the latest in bus technology front and centre.
With a raft of new and exciting products on display like its lightweight destination signs and CCTV cameras, it was the blind spot-eliminating camera mirror system that caught onlookers’ attention the most.

“Because we’re well known for our destination signs and CCTV products, our new fully certified camera mirror system has been a large attractive point for people,” Luminator senior manager of operations Anthony Goodman told ABC.
“It’s a different product to what we have offered in the past, and the applications and take up so far have been amazing.
“It’s displayed on a few of the buses here so people can actually go and sit in the seat and experience it in real life.”
The camera mirror provides drivers with next level vision above what standard mirrors provide to eliminate blind spots and provide clearer images in all environmental conditions. This is primarily due to the high level of compliance and standards integrated into the system.
While the mirror was the showstopper, Luminator also displayed its current lightweight, energy efficient LED destination signs, along with an example of its passenger information system.
“We have a lot of passing customers come through discussing our products and many are interested in extending their relationship with us,” he says.
“It has been good for the attendees to come and visit the booth and leave with an understanding that Luminator has products and solutions to meet their current needs and knowing we will still be around to support them well into the future.”
Looking ahead, Goodman says they aim to have even more CCTV offerings locked and loaded for the next iteration of the Show.
“Our destination signs and passenger information system is primarily locked down as a permanent product for us. There may be some improvements in that along the way, but we are aiming for more advancements in our CCTV offer as well as additional products for the industry,” he says.
