LED Cove
Lighting System
Saving money never looked so good...
Reduced Maintenance Costs
GE believes that financial and environmental
responsibility can work hand-in-hand. That's why
we designed the GE LED Cove Lighting System to
help casinos, hotels, restaurants and retail users
create a consistently beautiful look while
lowering operating costs and
curbing the impact on
our environment.
Fewer lamps to replace & dispose
The GE LED Cove Lighting System is rated to perform
for 50,000 hours (L70)2 that’s 5.7 years of 24/7
operation without changing a lamp—and it could be
more. GE LED Cove Lighting can significantly reduce
the hassle and expense of labor, material and disposal
costs associated with lamp replacement. At 25
times the life of halogen, GE LED Cove can save
over $375,000 per 1,000 feet in lamp purchases alone
over the 50,000 hour rated life.1
Improved Energy Usage
Up to 7 times more efficient than xenon
The GE LED Cove Lighting System delivers more
lumens per watt over most other systems—substantially
lowering the amount of energy required to achieve
maximum brightness. Property owners can remove
excessive wattage to save money while meeting their
lighting requirements. Although fluorescent systems
have an edge in efficiency, it does not offer all the
advantages of GE LED Cove such as long life and reduced
maintenance costs. Compared to halogen systems,
GE LED Cove could reduce energy costs by over $117,000
per 1,000 feet installed over the life of the system.1
Our robust GE LED Cove system contains no lead,
mercury or glass—making handling and disposal less
of a concern—and it is RoHS compliant.

Lumens per watt (lm/W)
Philips and IO Lighting information from published sources — April 2008. Assumes total system watts, including power losses and 60% use
of total lamp lumens in application for non-LED systems. Value will vary with specific fixture and efficiency.
Lower carbon emissions
By replacing 1,000 feet of 30W halogen
systems with GE LED Cove, you could
reduce carbon dioxide emissions from
power generation by over 285,000 pounds
annually. That’s equal to planting over
35 acres of trees each year!
Backed by a reputation for reliability in the LED
industry, more than 14 million feet of GE LED systems
are currently installed in signage and architectural
applications with a warranty return rate of less than
0.05%3 since 2001.
Building on that remarkable tradition of reliability,
GE LED Cove performance claims are based on a
robust design process and stringent testing of the
entire system, not solely on laboratory data from the
LED supplier. This all adds up to exceptional quality
you can depend on.
1 Assumes: 2000-hour halogen lamp, 6 lamps per foot, 50,000 rated life, 30 watts/foot, $0.10/kwh,
and cost of $3.00 per halogen lamp & $75.00 per foot of GE LED Cove.
2 L70 indicates the amount of operating time before the luminous flux of the LED depreciates to 70% of initial lumens.
3 Based on warranty return rate of GE Tetra® LED Systems through December 2008.
Reduced Installation Costs
Improved Brand Image
Installs quickly & accurately
Bright, uniform light that lasts
Easy-to-use mounting tracks and fewer system
components allow for quick and simple assembly
on-site. Material estimation is easy with 12 inch (0.3m)
LED fixture lengths that provide better lighting around
curves and corners. Jumper cables make it easy to
work around tight angles. A low-voltage, Class II
power supply is integrated in each fixture to enable
long runs of up to 200 feet (61 m) per 120V power input
and up to 330 feet (101 m) per 240V power input. This
ease of installation can significantly reduce labor and
material costs to save you money.
Lighting designers and customers will appreciate the
warm look and feel of the GE LED Cove Lighting System.
Delivering over 290 lumens per foot, GE LED Cove
provides excellent brightness and uniformity over time.
System design delivers
uniform light and
eliminates shadows
While fluorescent systems may produce more lumens
per foot, GE LED Cove offers better uniformity and
consistency, as well as 2.5 times the performance life.
This long life eliminates inconsistencies caused by
relamping errors. Brand image will no longer suffer
from dimmed or burned out lamps, incorrect color
temperatures, or different levels of brightness. There
are no socket shadows to disrupt uniformity, only
bright, even white light throughout the cove.
Advanced thermal management design
optimizes efficiency, performance and life

Ability to dim
GE LED Cove can be dimmed when connected to
an electronic low-voltage (ELV) reverse phase control
dimmer. Recommended dimmers are Lutron and
Leviton. Performance may vary, so please consult
