imagination at work

Product Features
Since the invention of the first fluorescent lamp in 1938, GE has provided lighting solutions utilizing the latest in fluorescent
fixture, lamp and ballast technology to provide highly efficient, and high quality white light. UltraStar® systems offer not
only significant energy reductions over standard Metal Halide systems, but also deliver higher quality light. Adding lighting
control systems with UltraStar® fixtures capitalizes on even greater energy savings.
