brightness solutions.

When brightness matters most, Tetra miniStrip High
Output and Tetra miniStrip DS High Output deliver

25% more light than standard Tetra, commanding
attention to your customer's brand image.

New Tetra miniStrip and miniStrip DS are

designed specifically for shallow box signs.

Tetra miniStrip is ideal for single-sided

signs with a 3 to 6 inch can depth, while

Tetra miniStrip DS is perfect for double-sided

signs with a 6 to 12 inch can depth.

Tetra miniStrip produces money-saving

advantages over T8 fluorescent tubes while

delivering outstanding visual performance

that protects end-user brand image.

Transform your shallow cabinet signs into

better looking, better performing images

for your business with new Tetra miniStrip

and miniStrip DS.

With new Tetra High brightness LED solutions for box
signs you can now use wider stroke spacing to reduce
the amount of product needed and build your sign
more economically.

The OptiLens™ Difference.

Tetra miniStrip uses GE's patented lens technology,
OptiLens
redirects it towards the illuminated surface to create
an exceptionally uniform sign.

T8 fluorescent tubes can create an unwanted “striping”
effect where the space between the tubes appears
darker. This visual distraction sends the wrong
message about your business, and undermines
your overall brand image.

Cold weather concerns.

A T8 fluorescent sign can drop in brightness as
the temperature decreases. The LED technology in
Tetra miniStrip experiences no drop in performance
under the same conditions, protecting the integrity
of your brand.
