LOUISVILLE, KY — Through a grant provided by GE Consumer & Industrial, Thomas Edison House (729-731 East Washington Street, Louisville, KY) has installed new state-of-the-art museum lighting. The lighting project was completed in commemoration of Thomas Edison's 160th birthday.

Thomas Edison lived and worked in Louisville, and later became the founder of the General Electric Company.

The lighting installed at the Museum includes GE's new Diamond Precise® track lighting designed for interior museum lighting applications. Diamond Precise® lamps use 58 percent less electricity compared with standard 50-Watt Halogen PAR20 lamps, plus they have twice the life. Advanced LED lighting is now used in the display cabinets and with no UV radiation, high efficiency, extreme brightness and minimum heat generation, they are great for illuminating museum artifacts. GE Consumer & Industrial's Lighting & Electrical Institute in Cleveland, OH, provided design leadership for the project.
