On the forefront of GE’s outdoor product offerings are Evolve™ LED Area Lights and the Evolve™ LED Roadway Cobrahead, which was named Best-In-Class in the Next Generation Luminaires™ awards for design excellence in energy-efficient LED lighting.“GE designed these outdoor LED products with our customers in mind,” says Tim Miller, global product manager, LED Fixtures, GE Lighting. “LEDs are the future of outdoor lighting, and with these product offerings, GE is a one-stop solution for all outdoor lighting needs. We’re committed to providing the best in LED systems in terms of performance, life and energy savings.”This new generation of GE LED lighting products provides high uniformity to effectively light outdoor areas and reduce over-lighting, resulting in shadowing and energy waste.
