LED Key Benefits

Long Life
GM Lighting's LEDs are rated for 50,000 hrs. of continuous operation.

Energy Efficient
LEDs do not waste energy. The key benefit of LED lighting is its incredible lumen per watt ratio.

Low Maintenance
LEDs are low maintenance and require minimum to no maintenance during their life.

Unobtrusive
LEDs are physically smaller than many traditional light sources which allow for slimline designs to be created.

Easy Installation
GM Lighting's LED products are easy to install and to maintain.

 

12V Voltage Chart for LED Linear Products

This chart indicates distance from power supply to LED connection using various gauges of wire. Standard Output Ribbon (LTR300-SO-PW, WW, RD, BL, GR, AM) is 12V DC @ 2 amps per 5 meter (16.4') reel. Use these guidelines for all GM LED LightBar installations.
