East Cleveland, Ohio — Sept. 25, 2014 — Utilities, commercial buildings, and other facilities can now rely on a more energy-efficient alternative to traditional high-intensity discharge (HID) security lights with GE’s Evolve LED Security Light.
The light, with a rated lifetime of 100,000 hours, is designed for such applications as outdoor work yards, commercial and roadside establishments, and roadway lighting in rural areas.
Providing similar durability as traditional security light fixtures but with dimming capability, Evolve has a robust design built to withstand the harshest of elements. Using high brightness LEDs at 4000K and 5000K color temperatures and reflective technology designed to optimize efficiency, it allows users to find the best LED lighting solution for their outdoor space.
Evolve is an energy-efficient alternative to traditional high-intensity discharge (HID) security lights.
"The new Evolve Security Light provides nearly as much light and more lumens per watt than HID security lighting," said Parm Girn, product manager for outdoor, GE Lighting. "Through its energy efficiency, it lowers operating costs with a higher rated lifetime. The number of times users have to relamp is reduced, ultimately saving them energy and money."
Evolve provides significant energy savings compared to HID security lighting, which has a lifetime that is a fraction of the hours. The new security light, offered in two lumen levels and two optical distributions, has a lumen maintenance rating of L70 at 100,000 hours, enabling this LED lighting fixture to significantly reduce maintenance costs and needs.
