alignment' in the equipment used to keep the time and date accurate. The sign had been out of action for 14 months, with the restoration commencing in February and costing $300,000. 17,000 LED lights were used, along with 800 metres of neon tubing and two kilometres of electrical cable. The use of LEDs diminished the visibility of the clock in certain locations, so the luminaires were once again replaced in December 2005 with 70-degree orange coloured LEDs. For several days in May 2006 the clock was frozen at 6.38, with a surge protector being installed to avoid a recurrence. The clock again broke down at 5.45am on 6 September 2006 but wet weather hampered efforts to investigate the fault. In March 2009 the clock was switched off due to Nylex lapsing into receivership. To date there has been no forthcoming information from Cremorne council about when the sign will be switched on despite public outrage. Because the sign and operating costs were the property of Nylex, the public hope the council will assume responsibility of the costs. Since March 2009, the clock and associated temperature display have been inoperative. The clock was briefly illuminated again on Thursday, 29 January 2015, when a group calling themselves 'The Nylex Clock Collective' broke into the silos and found the switch to the clock. Drivers reported the clock running an hour behind, as it had not been adjusted for daylight saving time. In March 2017 Heritage Victoria approved permits for development of two towers of 13 storeys and 14 storeys, and also saves some of the sprawling industrial site's landmark concrete silos. Developer Caydon had originally earmarked the silos for demolition to make way for its precinct of apartments, offices and restaurants, but more than half of the 1962 silos will now be retained. Nylex sign and clock which also once showed the temperature will be restored to working order, however the landmark will disappear from Melbourne's skyline for a number of years, as it will be put into storage during construction. On 12 November 2017 a fire broke out in an abandoned nearby factory causing traffic jams. The Punt Road CityLink onramp was closed for 24 hours. Concerns have been raised that the blaze was deliberately lit, possibly by squatters. Up to 50 firefighters took several hours to contain the blaze.
