[2011-06-15]GE Lighting unveils Energy Smart LED A19 and EvolveTM Module Roadway R250

GUANGZHOU, CHINA [9 June 2011] GE Lighting today unveiled two new LED innovations - The GE

Energy Smart LED A19 General Purpose Bulb - Omni-Directional Lighting and the GE EvolveTM

Module Roadway R250 - at the 16th Guangzhou International Lighting Exhibition. The GE Energy

Smart LED A19 General Purpose Bulb is set to be an excellent replacement for a standard 40W

incandescent product while the GE EvolveTM Module Roadway R250 is a premium module design

offering a complete roadway lighting platform.

Mr. Mohamed Butt, President and CEO of GE Lighting Asia notes, Throughout our 100-year

history, GE Lighting has been committed to extending the life of lamps, increasing overall

lighting efficiency and reducing energy consumption. As a leader offering energy-saving

lighting solutions, GE LED Lighting offers a wide range of world-class, environmentally

responsible LED solutions and systems for the past decade. Today the two new LED products we

bring at this show are emblematic of the imagination and innovation that GEs pursuit to

help customers become more productive and profitable through LED technology advances that

lower the cost of light. Also for household consumers who have been reluctant to move away

from less efficient incandescent bulbs because they love the light quality, this new GE

Energy Smart LED bulb will address that lighting preference head-on and give consumers yet

another option to light their homes and businesses.

GE Energy Smart LED A19 General Purpose Bulb - Omni-Directional Lighting

The bulb is the latest addition to GE Lightings portfolio of light-emitting diode (LED)

bulbs. Consuming just 9 watts, the new LED bulb is expected to achieve a 77 percent energy

savings while producing nearly the same light output as a 40-watt incandescent bulb. The new

LED bulb provides a soft white light (3,000K) and 471 lumens, a light-output measurement that

makes it an excellent 40-watt incandescent replacement. Based on three hours of usage per

day, the bulb is rated to last over 22 years, or more than 25 times as long as a 40-watt

incandescent bulb.

The new bulb has a unique fin-like design, allowing it to direct light downward on the

intended surface and all around, not just out of the top of the lampshade. The fins

surrounding the bulb help to keep it cool by drawing out heat, and this keeps the bulbs

surface cooler to the touch. 

Given its cutting-edge specifications, the new GE Energy Smart LED A19 General Purpose Bulb -

will be ideal for providing accent lighting for the interiors of hotels, restaurants and

retail stores.

The new bulb is expected to launch to all Asia markets in June, except for Korea and

Thailand, which will be 3-6 month lag against others due to the in country test requirement.

GE Evolve ModuleTM Roadway R250

The GE EvolveTM Module RoadwayR250 is a premium module design which offers a complete roadway

vertical lighting platform. The module provides easy scalability from 39W to 237W using a one

to four module construction. Offering a complete lumen package from 2,600lm to 17,800lm, the

system provides uniform light levels that will enhance security camera surveillance and

reduce light power density enabling energy saving on the road.

The GE EvolveTM Module Roadway R250 system utilizes High Brightness LEDs and has a rated

system life of 50,000 hours@ L80. The system will be a choice lighting solution for highways

and parkways; residential areas and pedestrian walkways, as well as commercial areas and

industrial complexes. It has been launched in China in the early of the year and rest of Asia

country in May, except Taiwan and Japan due to the voltage. Korea and Thailand in Aug plan

due to the in country test requirement.

At the Guangzhou International Lighting Exhibition which is held from 9-12 June 2011, GE

Lighting showcased a comprehensive portfolio of vertical lighting solutions, in addition to

the launch of the two new products.

GE Lighting presented its state-of-the-art lighting solutions at the exhibition in a booth

which was designed to provide visitors with an experiential journey. Visitors walk through a

meandering roadway through sections that resemble a retail shop, supermarket, hotel, caf,

office and industrial areas. In addition, there will several seminars held during the

exhibition to introduce GE Lightings solutions and best practices in key vertical segments.
