GELcore meets traffic-light energy standards (LED News)
GELcore (Valley View, OH) has become the first partner of a program set up by the Institute of Traffic Engineers (ITE) to promote energy efficiency. GELcore, which is the joint venture between GE Lighting and Emcore, has certified almost 30 products that meet these performance specifications. These include LED-based traffic lights (see picture), arrow signal confirmation indicators and pedestrian control signs. The ITE produced a set of guidelines for these and other products that meet the US Department of Energy and Environmental Protection Agency standards, under their "Energy Star" program.
