Tetra Energy Savings Calculator  

Tetra LED Systems replace older technologies such as neon lighting in interior and exterior signage applications, while delivering long-life, reduced maintenance and up to 80% energy cost savings.

To estimate the potential energy savings that a complete Tetra LED solution can deliver to your channel letter application, please use the Tetra Energy Savings Calculator below. While it will generate an energy cost comparison between neon and the Tetra LED Lighting System, it is only an estimate, and should not be your sole source of information. Your actual energy savings may vary.

If you need additional help using this tool, please contact Technical Support at 1-888-MY-GE-LED.
Instructions
1. In the white boxes below, choose the best option from the drop down menu, OR type in the appropriate value that fits your application.
2. Your estimated energy savings will be displayed.

Tetra Energy Savings Calculator
Compares the energy costs of the Tetra System Vs. Neon in channel letter applications
Helpful Hint: Please subtract 1 foot of Tetra product for every pair of electrodes used in the neon system.

 		 Wattage readings on a per foot basis remain consistent when 3 amps or greater load is applied to the power supply. Non-uniformity not shown in calculator.
** 
 		 Based on a standard 80% Energy savings for a typical load on a Red, 15mm diameter tube. Wattage will change when different colors are chosen from the pulldown lists.
*** 
 		 Wattage will change if different items are selected in the pulldown lists shown above.
