by Shane Henson — September 7, 2012—Lighting designers, specifiers and facilities or property managers can shape indoor spaces in engaging new ways with GE Lighting’s Architectural LED Lighting portfolio. New GE LED Accent, Tetra PowerGrid and GE LED Wall Washer lighting systems are designed to add rich layers, bold backdrops and dramatic accents to retail shops, hotels, offices, restaurants, and a variety of other commercial spaces.
Like all GE light-emitting diode (LED) systems, these solutions provide function and improved aesthetics, easier installation, less frequent maintenance, and consistent performance in lighting designs, the company says. Another plus is that all of GE’s new LED Architectural products work in harmony with each other and other lighting systems. These architectural lighting products also feature long life and are backed by the quality and energy efficiency synonymous with the GE brand.
- GE LED Accent: These low-profile fixtures are ideal for use in tray ceilings, underneath desks and cabinets, within toe kicks and in other tight spaces where accent lighting can enhance the feel of the room and other technology won’t physically fit. Strips of ultra-thin LED modules less than half an inch thick can be cut to a variety of lengths to fit any need, even around corners. Each module is equipped with a lens that diffuses light in an even distribution pattern without the “dots” that plagued early LED systems, says GE. This 0-10V dimmable LED system is available in a variety of color temperatures, and an optional mounting track allows for even easier installation and additional angling.
- Tetra PowerGrid: This modular 0-10V dimmable LED lighting system replaces traditional fluorescent lighting in backlighting applications that require broad, uniform light, such as lighting behind translucent panels, walls and ceilings. These modules also can be cut to fit to length, lending brilliant, consistent, evenly diffused light in depths as shallow as three inches deep.
- GE LED Wall Washer Series: This series brightens and emphasizes textures on vertical surfaces from ceiling to floor of large areas, such as lobbies, upscale offices and long hallways. Designers can choose from three different optical options that work with three specific applications: wall washing, wall grazing, and cove lighting.
