Exclusive: Notice of Discontinuation of GE HID, Incandescent, Fluorescent and Induction Lighting – January 1, 2016
An internal memo published by General Electric two days ago announced the types of lighting that will be discontinued from January 1, 2016, including some HID, incandescent, fluorescent, and induction luminaires, due to declining demand for traditional lighting products and the accelerated adoption of solid-state lighting.
GE Lighting will no longer create new custom configurations for non-LED luminaires, and the catalog numbers of these products will no longer appear in quotes or orders. GE Lighting will continue to focus on LED and smart lighting technologies, investing in the future of advanced lighting controls and highly energy-efficient LED luminaires.
