GE Lighting, a division of GE,
has announced the launch of
its LED roadway product
family for the Indian market. This
complements GE's recent launches
of LED downlights and LED 2x2
recessed troffers for retail and
commercial office applications.
In India, the demand for power
has been consistently outstripping
the supply resulting in frequent
power cuts that is adversely
affecting the quality of life.
Lighting consumes about 20 per
cent of all the electricity generated.
Using GE's Energy Efficient LED
Lighting products is one way by
which the load on the power grid
can be reduced, an official
statement by GE Lighting noted.
GE's products have been designed
to specifically suit the harsh
environmental conditions in India.
For instance, higher ingress
protection (IP 66) with pressure die
cast construction has been
incorporated to protect the LED
system from rains and dust, and
wide input voltage drivers are used
to handle significant voltage
swings.
The LED space is globally poised
to take over 60 per cent of the
lighting market by 2020. In India
LEDs are projected to grow over 40
per cent on a year-on-year basis.
With this new launch, GE Lighting
expects to outpace the market
growth in India by 2 to 3 times, the
statement added.
