GE Lighting raise the bar Albeo™ LED Luminaires for high- and low-bay environments simulated image
out with the old Today’s lighting landscape is constantly changing. At GE, we’re creating newer, more efficient lighting solutions. Commercial and industrial facilities are challenging environments for lighting design. They need to accomplish many goals without sacrificing performance. Longer operating hours, hard-to-reach ceilings, expansive space and expensive maintenance – the costs pile up.

transform in with the new – LEDs In 1962, a GE scientist invented the first visible LED: paving the way for the next generation of lighting solutions. LED fixtures deliver, with better light distribution, increased visual acuity, superior color consistency and optical control. Best of all, their improved fixture efficiency means less wattage, less waste and significantly longer replacement intervals to reduce maintenance costs.

optimize made with smart technology GE Albeo LED Luminaires are projected to deliver 100,000 hours at L70, and significantly reduce relamping and maintenance time and costs. A wide operating temperature between -31°F and 131°F means exceptional performance at both extremes – and every temperature in between.
simulated image make the robust choice The GE Albeo LED Luminaire offers robust design features for better protection from damage. It starts with break-resistant acrylic optical lenses built to withstand accidental abuse. It includes built-in mounting channels for safe and secure installation. A heavy-duty cast aluminum housing with an integrated heat sink for maximum thermal protection for the LED.
warehouse It’s true. HID systems can provide adequate light for warehouse environments. However, complexity or incompatibility with today’s sensors and control technologies makes it difficult to implement energy-saving strategies such as daylight harvesting, motion control and dimming. Instead, Albeo LED Luminaires are ideal in storage facilities with a mixture of conditioned and unconditioned spaces, open areas and racked aisles, and where ceiling heights range from 20 to 80 feet.
cold storage In cold storage environments, HID and fluorescent fixtures are often left on continuously, due to cold temperature or warmup/restrike challenges. Unfortunately, it’s a practice that wastes energy, shortens lamp life and increases maintenance costs. Just the opposite, energy-efficient Albeo LED Luminaires thrive in the cold – performing flawlessly in temperatures down to -31°F.
manufacturing In manufacturing or any 24/7 operation, nothing is more dreaded than downtime. With HID and fluorescent systems’ shorter lifetimes, you’ll see plenty of it, as more frequent relamping is required. Both systems are susceptible to catastrophic failure in high-vibration environments, due to fragile glass components. And that can lead to disruptions and maintenance concerns.
sports arenas When it comes to sporting venues, HID systems simply can’t compete. They can’t be turned on and off quickly, and aren’t easily compatible with control systems that allow for the customized lighting design required in multipurpose spaces. Their short life spans mean more frequent maintenance, which can be difficult with high ceilings. Plus, they produce a poorer quality of light with little uniformity – yet, use a significant amount of energy to do so.
The numbers speak for themselves Picture a 500,000 sq. ft. warehouse facility, with both open areas and racked aisles. It’s buzzing with 1,250 HID fixtures, operating 14 hours/day, 6 days/week at .11 kWh. That’s a pretty hefty bill. Now, imagine replacing every outdated HID fixture with an energy-efficient Albeo LED fixture, and adding motion sensors for racked aisle areas.
