ITS NOT ABOUT THE ECONOMY,STUPID...
Or about what it says*, really. More a homage to analogue control systems - in this case a cam sequencer from the RS catalogue (http://rswww.com ).

* “Shop Or Die” over and over and over again.... spelt out in 25w clear lightbulbs in a shop window in Leeds 21st March to 1st May 2005.

This is one of series that monumentalises texts and messages (see Motivational Poster “There is No Promised Land...”) in this case spelling out a message in light bulbs to transform the surrounding area  and flood it with a light almost too strong to allow a clear reading unless the viewer steps back out of its range. This is simple technology, but it transfigures and transforms!
