GE’s Tetra® LED Lighting Systems are driving energy efficiencies in the world of commercial signage and architectural applications with a new generation of LED lighting solutions. Tetra® delivers impressive energy savings, long life, reduced maintenance and more consistent brightness compared to fluorescent and neon, both indoors and out.
Environmental Benefits
If a hotel chain switched the box signs in 350 of its hotels from fluorescent lamps to GE's Tetra® PowerGrid product, it could avoid approximately 550 metric tons of CO2 emissions on the U.S. grid per year, assuming usage of 12 hours per day. This is equivalent to the CO2 absorbed annually by approximately 150 acres of southeastern U.S. forest or the CO2 emissions of over 105 cars on U.S. roads.
Operating Benefits
If a national retailer retrofitted the neon in their channel letter signs in 200 of their sites with 250 feet of Red Tetra® MAX (3 LED Module) system, they could save over $108,000 per year in energy costs, assuming usage of 12 hours per day and a commercial electricity price of $0.11 per kWh.
