Tetra PowerStrip and Tetra PowerStrip DS from GE Lumination are the innovative LED systems that replace fluorescent tubes in box signs resulting in reduced energy expenses, improved uniformity and lower maintenance costs.
Tetra PowerStrip is our 12 Volt LED system for single-sided box signs, and Tetra PowerStrip DS is our 24 Volt LED system for double-sided box signs.
Slash Maintenance Costs
Fluorescent tubes require regular maintenance,which can cost over $750 per visit. That's about what a repair crew and bucket truck or crane costs every time a fluorescent tube burns out and needs to be replaced*. It's expensive. Tetra PowerStrip can save an impressive amount on maintenance costs because of its rated system life is up to 4 times longer than fluorescent lighting.
Cut Energy Expenses
Compared to T12HO fluorescent systems,Tetra PowerStrip can save up to 83% in energy costs annually. As the cost of electricity continues to climb, LED systems can help control operating costs.If a sign owner who operates their sign 10 hours a day changed their 10 ft. x 10 ft. box sign lighting from T12HO fluorescent to Tetra PowerStrip the sign*owner could save an additional $400 per sign in annual operating costs.
Send the right message to your customers
In a business like yours, projecting the right brand image is essential to your continued success.Burned-out or flickering fluorescent signs create a negative impression, erode consumer confidence and can threaten potential sales.
Tetra PowerStrip LED system features patentpending Optilens™, an innovative technology that evenly distributes all available light exactly where it is needed most—on the sign face. Fluorescent tubes can create light striping. This can diminish the overall look of the sign. With Tetra PowerStrip, striping and hot spots are eliminated, and the overall impression of your brand is enhanced.
Don’t Leave Your Sales Out In The Cold
Did you know that the light output of fluorescent lamps is reduced due to fluctuating temperatures?At 41°F (5°C) a fluorescent sign can drop in brightness by up to 80% compared to its output at 77°F (25°C). Tetra PowerStrip performs better in cold weather and more consistent in extreme heat than fluorescent, so your LED sign will look better and attract more customers—all year long.
