CLEVELAND, Jun 29, 2009 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- GE | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating -- The new Tetra(R) 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(R) 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(TM), 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.
