We listened to what our customers have been saying and developed an LED solution for box signs specifically designed for brightness," said Mark Shepard, global product manager for yaham Lighting. "GE's new Tetra high output LED systems create a more economical sign by allowing sign makers to use less product than necessary for products that require more narrow stroke spacing to create desired illumination levels. Retailers have already recognized the Wholesale Led high bay light benefits of the new Tetra platforms, awarding it with a 'Cool New Products' award at the recent NACS Show, the National Association for Convenience and Fuel Retailing."
Designed to replace traditional light sources like T12 fluorescent tubes, the Tetra Power Strip, Edge Strip and mini Strip high output LED lighting solutions reduce the maintenance burden typically associated with linear fluorescent lighting. Box signs are not easy to access, and a bucket truck and service team must be dispatched to change tubes or make repairs. LEDs are rated for 50,000 hours of life—approximately four times the life of a linear fluorescent tube—which translates to a much lower annual spend.Plus, LED systems outperform fluorescents in colder weather, reliably operating at temperatures less than 50 degrees F, unlike linear fluorescent that dims in the cold.

New Tetra high output LED systems for maximizing brightness in cabinet signs include: Tetra Power Strip High Output, available for single-sided box signs with 5-12" depths, and Tetra Power Strip High Output DS for double-sided signs with 10-24" depths, deliver up to 720 lumens—30- 35% more lumens than standard Tetra—for an improved visual appearance while providing up to 79% energy savings versus T12HO fluorescent tubes.Tetra miniStrip High Output—Designed specifically for shallow, single-sided cabinet signs with 3-6" depths—and Tetra mini Strip High Output DS—for double-sided signs with 6-12" depths—deliver 192 to 240 lumens, offering 25% more lumens than the standard Tetra system.Tetra Edge Strip High Output—Designed to mount either vertically or tightly along the perimeter of custom-shaped cabinet signs with depths of Agent of floodlight", Tetra Edge Strip High Output delivers greater flexibility and a higher light output of 200 to 410 lumens, which is 2 times more lumens than standard Tetra, while evenly distributing light to the sign surface.
