Tetra MS Channel Letter Lighting System
INTRODUCTION
Tetra®MS — the remarkable 24V LED system designed for small channel letters as shallow as 1.5 inches in depth delivers incredibly uniform light, installs easily and operates efficiently. Tetra® MS is IP66 and UL wet rated which makes it more robust and reliable even under wet weather.
Powerful OptiLens™ X
Tetra® MS features OptiLens™ X, our patented technology that allows for a true 165° x 140° viewing angle. This exclusive technology redirects otherwise wasted light to the sign face, making sure your signs shine.
Class-leading loading
Now load up to 90.5 feet (27.6 m) or 362 modules of 24V Tetra® MS per 100W power supply using our new and improved GLX2 power supplies.
Improved stroke spacing
24V Tetra® MS stroke spacing has improved, thanks to the new OptiLens™ X wide beam angle. In addition, its new silicone flow channels have increased bonding strength by 10-20%
