In a back-to-the-future move, GE’s Current offers fluorescent tubes, bulbs, LEDs

When GE’s Current division quietly announced price rises on LED and on “traditional lighting products” last week, it wasn’t the increases per se that were so notable. Rather, it was the company that made them: Current, or to use its full corporate name, Current, powered by GE. The announcement, first reported by the Edison Report website, reaffirms that GE has scaled back Current’s initial overarching mission from what was to have been a multifaceted energy services and data company, into one that looks as concerned with selling LED luminaires, fluorescent tubes, and even incandescent lightbulbs as it does with gathering data and monitoring and controlling energy consumption
