GELcore, a subsidiary of General Electric, makes LED-based traffic lights, rail signals, display lighting, and -- most important for this forum -- lighting systems for signage and architecture. Their Tetra product line (CL, XL, BT, Contour, etc.) is intended to replace neon and fluorescent fixtures in both commercial and residential settings. These lighting systems are advertised to be rugged, weather- and UV-resistant, long-lived, and, of course, miserly on power, offering up energy savings between 40 and 80 percent over neon lights and fluorescents.
If you have a business that uses old, flickery, power-hungry lighting tech for advertising on the street, you might want to check out the GELcore line. We have no storefront ourselves, but we could see some linear Contour strips (shown in photo) in warm white running around the kitchen...
See this GELcore page for information on the Tetra line.
