GE's New Tetra® miniMAX LED System Maximizes Brightness and Uniformity in Shallow Channel Letters

June 29, 2009

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:

"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.
