GE Lighting Systems Unveils LED StreetDreamsT at 2008 Annual Conference of Mayors

76th Annual Conference of Mayors

HENDERSONVILLE, N.C.-- June 30, 2008 --GE Lighting Systems, Inc., part of GE Consumer & Industrial, recently showcased its new LED StreetDreamsT post-top fixtures at the 76th Annual Conference of Mayors in Miami, Florida. From June 20-24, more than 250 mayors from cities all over the United States descended upon Miami, and GE offered them a sneak peek at one of its latest energy-efficient lighting solutions.

GE provided six of its LED StreetDreamsT luminaires for the event. The new lighting system was installed in the median along Pan American Drive leading up to Miami City Hall.

Municipal leaders are known to be major influencers in the specification and purchase of energy-efficient metropolitan lighting solutions. As downtown revitalization planning has become increasingly sensitive to environmental impacts, LED StreetDreamsT is expected to resonate well with mayors and other municipal authorities because of its energy-efficient LED technology and chic post-top design.

LED StreetDreamsT post-top fixtures will be introduced to the broader market in 2009.

StreetDreamsT is a trademark of the General Electric Company.
