Kevin Ruppelt, general manager of Water Products, GE Consumer & Industrial, and a member of the Thomas Edison House's Board of Regents, comments: "This was a great way to utilise GE's design, products and resources, and to give back to our local community. Thomas Edison would be proud of GE's advances in lighting technology and what we've done to highlight his inventions at the Museum. We are proud of our heritage."
The lighting installed at the Museum includes GE's new Diamond Precise track lighting designed for interior museum applications. Diamond Precise lamps use 58 per cent less electricity compared with standard 50-Watt Halogen PAR20 lamps, plus they have twice the life, claims GE. GE Consumer & Industrial's Lighting & Electrical Institute in Cleveland, OH, provided design leadership for the project.
