by Rebecca Walker — July 22, 2009—Over the last few years, AT&T re-branding efforts across the country included a redesign of its logo that necessitated the replacement of 7,000 channel letter signs on more than 6,500 AT&T office buildings and retail locations.
With a switch to the energy-efficient, long-life GE Tetra LED lighting system, AT&T is likely to save more than 5.8 million kilowatt hours of electricity a year and eliminate 3,500 metric tons of carbon dioxide annually, according to GE.
Because GE LEDs are up to 80 percent more energy efficient than normally used neon, the new lighting system will also provide AT&T with financial savings, explains the company.
“Companies like AT&T that pay to operate thousands of signs every day are quick to recognize the value of a high-quality LED signage system,” said Eric Stevenson, GE’s Global Product Manager – Signage. Our GE Tetra LED system with a 50,000-hour rated life eclipses the life of incumbent fluorescent systems by more than three years.
