Lighting evokes emotion in its subtle sophistication," said Sarah Truman, GE Lighting Architectural LED Lighting Product Manager. "What we've done here is given professionals a 'matched set' of tools for easily constructing more inspired designs whether in a dining area, lobby, conference room, hallway or showroom."
These low-profile fixtures are ideal for use in tray ceilings, underneath desks and cabinets, within toe kicks and in other tight spaces where accent lighting can enhance the feel of the room and other technology won't physically fit. Strips of ultra-thin LED modules less than half an inch thick can be cut to a variety of lengths to fit any need, even around corners. Each module is equipped with a lens that diffuses light in an even distribution pattern without the "dots" that plagued early LED systems. This 0-10V dimmable LED system is available in a variety of color temperatures, and an optional mounting track allows for even easier installation and additional angling.
Still, the study said, most consumers aren't likely to save money by switching from CFLs to LEDs until LED prices drop. Already, LED prices have decreased almost 20% in 2011; the study estimated that LED prices will drop an additional $10 for 60-watt replacements in the next two to three years.
Consumer Reports' top LED picks included the $26 EcoSmart A19 and $25 Philips Ambient LED for general purpose 60-watt bulb replacements, because of their brightness, dimming function and color that most closely mimicked that of an incandescent or halogen bulb.
