GELcore Introduces Universal High Visibility LED Traffic Signal
Valley View, OH - January, 2002 - GELcore, LLC recently introduced a new generation of its GE LED Signal product line with the RX11 LED Signal. The RX11 family of full ball signals are offered in 8 and 12 inch configurations, and feature an expanded field-of-view designed to allow the RX11 to be universally used in span wire or stationary arm applications.
The RX11 patent-pending design minimizes sun phantom effects, resulting in 70 percent reduced glare based on EN12368 standards. Like previous generation LED signals, these energy efficient products have a 5-year warranty and can deliver up to 90% energy savings compared to incandescent signals.
Claude Demers, a Vice President and General Manager of GELcore, explained, "By enabling span wire installations and sun phantom protection, RX11 provides users a universal solution to meet demanding traffic signal applications. These new features, combined with solid state reliability and energy efficiency, position this new generation of LED signals to set the standard for signaling applications."
GELcore's patent-pending optical design features a unique lensing system that allows precise control of the light distribution to create maximum brightness in specific zones. The patent pendinig RX11 power supply can be individually adapted to accept the characteristics of different controllers. This intelligent control ensures the LED module is delivered the amount of current needed to maintain stable luminous intensity.
Offering the same benefits of GE LED Signals, including a long life LED light source, UV stabilized shell, moisture and dust resistant enclosure, the RX11 is designed for direct retrofit into most incandescent signal fixtures.
RX11 products are ETL certified to meet applicable Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) specifications and are currently approved by the Florida DOT and the New York DOT for immediate usage. Several other state agency's approvals are in process. GELcore also has certified eight new RX11 LED Signals to meet ENERGY STAR® specifications. The ENERGY STAR(R) label is awarded to traffic signals that meet select performance levels for energy efficiency established by the U.S. EPA and the U.S. Department of Energy. RX11 signals and the entire GE LED signal product line are made in North America. GELcore is ETL performance certified and is ISO 9002 registered.
