PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS

®The robust and patented Tetra LED Lighting Systems enable infinite signage applications - indoors or out. Judged against the performance of standard neon or fluorescent lamps, GE Lumination Tetra LED solutions provide significant energy cost reductions, easier jobsite installation, less frequent maintenance and more consistent brightness.

Tetra high-efficiency, long life LED systems deliver exceptional performance in channel letter, border lighting, architectural accent, cove lighting, POP signage & wall washing applications.

Tetra MAXMaximum reliability is easier than ever. Working closely with sign builders, installers

and owners, we created the new Tetra MAX LED Lighting System—the channel

letter solution designed for the easiest possible installation and operation. We

simplified the entire system by eliminating binning, dip switches and load balancing

and allowing off-the-shelf components like wires and wire connectors, saving time

and material costs. One universal, low-voltage power supply will operate any color

LED, simplifying electrical wiring and reducing labor costs. This robust, overmolded

design keeps moisture out and protects components from failure, while delivering

brilliant, uniform light for up to 50,000 hours.

Close Quarters? No problem. High-voltage neon either struggles or simply cannot

function properly in small letter sets with narrow channel widths or shallow return

depths. By contrast, the Tetra Mini LED Lighting System fits just right in compact

spaces as narrow as 0.5 inches (12.7 mm) in width and 2 inches (50.8 mm) in

height. High-brightness LEDs, advanced thermal management and a patent-pending

design allows Tetra Mini to deliver outstanding light intensity and even illumination

in a variety of applications. In addition it features a polarity insensitive electrical

design that simplifies and speeds on-site installation.

Tetra Power White

89% BRIGHTER. New Tetra Power White LED is brighter, lighter and more affordable.

This re-engineered LED system delivers an impressive 66 lumens of brilliant

white—less than half the cost per lumen than previous generation products. Perfect

for large channel letters, box signs, multi-colored sign faces, and tough-to-match

colors. It adds up to a big difference you can take to the bank.

Tetra CL

Simple design. Simple to install. Simple to maintain. Tetra CL is the original,

patented LED lighting system from GE Lumination. Designed to replace Neon in

a variety of retail signage settings, Tetra CL combines robust, high-brightness

LEDs with the flexibility of wire to provide a low-voltage solution that installs

quickly in new construction or retrofit applications. Tetra CL helps retailers cut

wasteful spending on energy and significantly lowers maintenance costs and

associated hassles.

Tetra Canopy

We’ve got you covered. Think of Tetra Canopy as a weather-resistant holster for low-

voltage, long-life Tetra XL, Tetra CL and Tetra Power White systems, which

consistently outgun older illumination technologies. We recommend pairing quick-to

install Tetra Canopy with these GE Lumination systems when the aim is to achieve a

broad area of illumination or wash of light in applications that demand the highest

level of protection. Tetra Canopy’s easy-to-install clamshell design encases GE

Lumination LED systems for a more aesthetically pleasing look indoors and greater

protection outdoors in cold-weather applications.

Maximizing your ease of installationWith the Tetra MAX LED Lighting System from GE Lumination, achieving maximum reliability in

channel letter applications is easier than ever.

Working closely with sign builders, installers and owners, we’ve focused on the simplicity of the entire

system by reducing the complexity and number of parts to install—saving customers time and money

every step of the way. Utilizing GE Six Sigma quality standards for development and testing, Tetra MAX

delivers maximum reliability and affordability.

Light more LEDs from one single power supplyThe same GEPS12-60 Power Supply is used for all colors of the Tetra MAX

system and allows loads of

up to 16.46 m for 2 LED modules and 24.38 m for 3 LED modules.

The ability to power more LED modules from a single supply reduces the total

number of power supplies needed,

lowering material costs and cutting install labor.

Designed with your operatingbudget in mind

Tetra MAX delivers up to 81% energy savings over neon

and up to 52% energy savings over other LED

systems—substantially lowering operating costs.

It complies with RoHS standards and is UL recognized.

LIGHT INTENSITYTetra® CL LED lighting system is a one to one

replacement of standard 15mm neon. Tetra CL is

designed

with forward facing LEDs that reduce reflection losses

and provide more usable lumens on the letter face.

ENERGY EFFICIENTTetra CL LED system is up to 88% more efficient than standard neon tubes, resulting in lower energy costs.

EXTRA LONG LIFETetra CL is warranted for up to 5 years and can last up to 50,000 hours, while delivering maximum

efficiency and the same high light output as neon. Longer life means fewer system changes, lower

maintenance costs, and fewer disruptions due to burned out or broken tubes, failed transformers,

or nuisance tripping

.

SIMPLE INSTALLATIONPatent-pending design enables the system to be used in new or retrofit applications with a varity of sign

script fonts.

BUILT TOUGH TO LASTEven under many “rough service” conditions LEDs are more resistant than neon to vibration. When GE

subjected Tetra CL to a battery of tests, including salt corrosion, temperature, humidity and stringent thermal

cycling, the product achieved superior results, compared to other channel letter lighting alternatives, due

to rugged design and GE’s rigorous Six Sigma product development process.

APPLICATIONSChannel letters, reverse halo, cove lighting, canopy lighting and accent lighting.

Raises sign performance to new heights.The revolutionary Tetra PowerGrid LED Lighting System from

GE Lumination makes fluorescent tubes

in cabinet and box signs a thing of the past.

Developed and tested using GE Six Sigma standards,

PowerGrid significantly reduces installation, maintenance

and

energy costs in backlighting applications.

With Tetra PowerGrid, sign builders, installers and owners

get a tighter grip on costs which can bring greater

profitability within reach.

Save on material costsAdvanced engineering enables PowerGrid to fit in sign profiles as shallow as 5-inches (127 mm) deep,

reducing the amount of materials needed for the aluminum extrusion.

PowerGrid can be used in signs of all sizes, eliminating the need to stock and handle a wide variety of glass tubes,

sockets and miscellaneous parts to support traditional fluorescent signs.

The robust, over-molded design eliminates shipping and handling breakage associated with glass tubes and reduces

the amount of packing materials needed to safely ship the sign.

Designed with environmental responsibility in mindPowerGrid, a product of GE ecomagination, complies with RoHS standards and is UL listed.

This system contains no lead, mercury or glass, making handling and disposal less of a concern, while using less
