Tetra Energy Savings Calculator

Education & Resources

Tetra LED Systems replace older technologies such as neon lighting in interior and exterior signage applications, while delivering long-life, reduced maintenance and up to 80% energy cost savings.

To estimate the potential energy savings that a complete Tetra LED solution can deliver to your channel letter application, please use the Tetra Energy Savings Calculator below. While it will generate an energy cost comparison between neon and the Tetra LED Lighting System, it is only an estimate, and should not be your sole source of information. Your actual energy savings may vary.

If you need additional help using this tool, please contact Technical Support at 1-888-MY-GE-LED.
