CLEVELAND — GE Lighting Solutions now offers an even brighter, energy-efficient option to channel letter lighting with its new white Tetra MAX LED Lighting Systems. Similar to the existing Tetra MAX LED line, the white color LEDs (light-emitting diodes) evenly illuminate medium-size channel letters with minimal installation effort, but now offer 43 percent more lumens per foot and a 43 percent wider viewing angle than the previous generation.

The new white color offers brilliant, uniform light while still improving energy efficiency and power supply loading compared with neon and other LED systems used in channel letters. In line with the rest of the Tetra MAX LEDs, the white product delivers up to 80 percent energy savings over neon, providing substantially lower operating costs.

“With a life of up to 50,000 hours and excellent dependability, the new Tetra LED Lighting Systems feature clean, white light that illuminates brand signage prominently and consistently,” says Eric Stevenson, global product manager, signage, GE Lighting Solutions. “Our latest technology shows our commitment to helping lighting designers and end-users get more light, with fewer materials, that offers appealing results visually, financially and environmentally.”

Installation of the white Tetra MAX LED systems remains simple because it is comprised of fewer parts than other systems. The patent-pending, 12-volt design of Tetra MAX saves time and labor costs by reducing complex wiring and eliminating binning, dip switches and load balancing. The environmentally responsible system contains no lead, mercury or glass, so handling and disposal are less of a concern. And, it complies with RoHS standards and is UL recognized.
