Enjoy unbridled freedom in enhancing your architectural designs with this revolutionary product from GE Lumination. You can create bold designs and attractive accent lighting without the typical worries of working with fragile neon glass.
Tetra Contour was designed to replace exposed neon in a variety of applications. This system is comprised of a flexible LED light engine and a rigid, optically diffuse extruded-plastic light guide that can be heated and formed to fit a wide variety of designs and applications. Installation is quick and easy using low-profile mounting clips. This system provides a bright, uniform appearance, seamless illumination and a wide 330° view angle to give the classic appearance of neon.
Flexible light engine provides uniform light and can be used without light guide in low profile indoor accent applications
With seven brilliant colors of LED light engine and seven vibrant light guides to choose from, designers can mix-n-match these components to easily create customized looks.
The flexible LED light engine can also be used on its own in a variety of indoor and accent lighting applications.
Designed and tested using GE Six Sigma quality standards, the Tetra Contour LED lighting system has a long life of up to 50,000 hours—that’s more than five years of continuous 24/7 use. This durable LED system is resistant to impact and vibration, eliminating breakage that can be associated with glass tubes during shipping and handling. The robust system also protects against damage from impact, stress and weather. Plus, the easy-to-install Tetra Contour system is backed by a limited warranty up to 5 years.
Diffused light guide gives the appearance of neon
Can be mounted using light guide mounting clips or standard neon hardware
End cap provides finished appearance
Simple installation using light engine mounting clip in low-profile designs
Seamless designs can be created using the light guide connector
Tetra Contour is up to 40% more energy efficient than a typical exposed neon system. Which means, as well as providing your clients with beautiful lighting that will last, you are also providing them with significant energy savings.
Tetra Contour contains no lead, mercury or glass, so handling and disposal are less of a concern.
As one of the largest LED systems companies in the world, our expansive installation base includes more than 20 million linear feet of Tetra LED lighting systems sold. It all adds up to the greatest possible assurance backed by a 4 year limited warranty and the reputation of one the world’s most respected brands.
Building on that remarkable tradition of reliability
Tetra Contour 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.
