At the GE booth during the LightFair tradeshow held last week in Philadelphia, LEDs were showcased for professional innovations, including integrated approaches to controls and products, further demonstrating that GE now offers an even greater variety of energy-saving solutions.
We invite you to walk through our virtual booth and visit our GE Lighting YouTube channel, where you'll get a peek at the new GE Lighting innovations, including:
Los Angeles Roadway Controls Pilot
The City of Los Angeles and GE Lighting are moving forward with an expanded pilot program to measure performance of GE's LightGrid™ Outdoor Wireless Controller. The LightGrid controllers could eventually be deployed to more than 140,000 LED streetlights and provide more data on overall system performance.
GE Lighting Reveals New LED Bulb
Available this fall, the reveal® 60-watt replacement bulb will have the familiar size and shape of an incandescent while delivering big energy savings. As with other reveal bulbs, it does not produce dull yellow rays like regular bulbs and provides a crisp, white light that enhances vibrant colors and patterns.
Indoor Controls with Trane
GE's LightSweep™ Modular Lighting Control Solution can now be seamlessly integrated into the Trane Tracer™ centralized building automation system, giving users an integrated approach for implementing advanced control strategies across lighting and HVAC systems, the two biggest energy consumers in U.S. office buildings.
GE Lighting Helps MetLife Save
MetLife, Inc. recently upgraded to GE's Evolve™ LED outdoor lighting at 10 locations and switched to T8 fluorescent indoor lighting at its 650,000-square-foot administrative center in St. Louis. Combined, these lighting solutions will save MetLife approximately $360,000 a year while consuming about 3.5 million fewer kilowatt hours (kWh) of electricity.
