Brite Standard Time

Brite Standard Time is one of the half-hour date-shifted time zones just like Wakka Wakka Time Zone. It is fourteen and half hours ahead of Coordinated Universal Time.

History
In early 1800s, BRITE initially set its time zone as -9 hours, 36 minutes and 21.98 seconds with respect to GMT, as UTC did not exist until 1972.

During International Meridian Conference in 1884, BRITE chose to standardize its time zone to UTC-10. However, in 1930, it advanced its time by thirty minutes, thus making it a same time as Marquesas Islands Standard Time (UTC-09:30). In 2015, BRITE aligned itself with Republic of CATV 95 by skipping August 6, 2015, permanently changing from UTC-09:30 (MART) to UTC+14:30 (7 hours ahead of RC95T).
