GE's New Tetra miniMAX LED System Maximizes Brightness and Uniformity in Shallow Channel Letters
CLEVELAND - (BUSINESS WIRE) - The new Tetra miniMAX LED System from GE Lumination, GE
Consumer & Industrial's LED business, is the brightest solution for
shallow-depth channel letter applications available today. Tetra miniMAX
is over three times brighter and illuminates a surface area that is
four times larger than previous generation Tetra Mini, making it the
perfect solution for sign OEMs and business customers needing to see
better results-visually and financially.
The compact size of the Tetra miniMAX enables it to fit in applications
as shallow as 1.5 inches (38mm) while also setting a new standard in
efficiency and performance for shallow channel letter lighting. When
compared with the previous generation Tetra Mini, it:
-
Delivers over 3 times brighter light at 24 lumens/module (6500 Kelvin)
and 20 lumens/module (3200 Kelvin) respectively;
-
Offers more than 4 times greater surface coverage or 42,084 sq mm (at
3 in. depth);
-
Offers a 41 percent wider viewing angle at 155-degrees to enhance
uniformity of light throughout the application; and
-
Uses fewer LEDs per sign to achieve optimal performance, while
reducing the cost of materials for sign manufacturers.
"Our latest LED technology positively impacts the sign owner, OEM and
distributor by providing compact, long-lasting LEDs for applications
that require a lot of light in a limited amount of space," says Eric
Stevenson, global product manager-signage, GE Lumination. "Now, even the
shallowest channel letters can pack a huge visual punch."
The Tetra miniMAX's unique design features OptiLens , a patent-pending
optical lens that captures otherwise wasted light and redirects it
toward the illuminated surface in a broad, 155-degree pattern. By
harnessing the light, the OptiLens technology helps the Tetra miniMAX
LED system efficiently deliver bright, uniform light throughout the sign.
