GE Lighting LED solutions were recently installed in several locations at Marriott International’s headquarters in Bethesda, Md. The installations have enriched lighting quality, heightened employee security and improved energy efficiency. Following its corporate campus-wide lighting update, Marriott will use 860,000 fewer kilowatt hours (kWhs) of electricity and save more than $120,000 in combined energy and maintenance costs a year. 

GE Tetra® PowerStrip LED systems installed in the new advertising panels at the entrance to Frankfurt International Airport achieve energy savings of more than 60%. The new panels, together measuring 29 meters wide by 14 meters high, feature a total of 285 LED modules per sign. Tetra® PowerStrip is frequently specified to replace fluorescent light sources.

Businesses can at last bid farewell to obtrusive fluorescent tubes and distracting, dated lighting fixtures.

The chic, slim fixtures as thin as the width of a finger emit a crisp, pleasing light and instantly enhance the aesthetic of any room.

For businesses intent on keeping up appearances, the two newest members of the GE Tetra® LED Lighting Systems family deliver superior light uniformity in shallow cabinet signs.

GE Lighting is taking its energy-saving, cost-reducing lighting solutions on the road again with the 2012 GE Lighting Revolution Tour.

London's famed Tower Bridge will be even more picturesque in 2012, thanks to GE’s new energy efficient LED technology and a cabling system to illuminate the 800-foot bridge. The new lighting will replace a 25 year old legacy system and help cut the amount of energy required to light the landmark by 40%.

The next generation of Tetra® LED lighting systems for channel letters provide outstanding uniformity and use fewer modules than previous models. Fewer modules means fewer components will need to be replaced and repaired over time, which can translate to less maintenance and easier upfront installation.

Not only does light pollution run up electric bills and create carbon emissions, it interferes with ecosystems and obscures our view of the heavens. Fortunately, LED lighting technology can solve many of these problems by reducing four components of light pollution: high light levels, uplight, trespass light and glare.

The pursuit of LED lighting solutions "makes good sense" and is a "no brainer," according to leading retailers who spoke at GE Lighting’s 3rd annual conference on LED & Energy Efficient Lighting Trends for Retail, held this month at the GE Lighting Institute in East Cleveland, Ohio.
