Current by GE

What Current by GE is known for

Current by GE is the commercial/industrial lighting and energy business that delivers LED fixtures, controls, integrated energy services and smart-city solutions for commercial, municipal and industrial customers.

Ownership and brand context

GE completed the sale of Current (often called “Current, powered by GE”) to private equity in 2019; the consumer GE Lighting lamp business was sold separately in 2020. Procurement teams should confirm warranty and support contacts when sourcing legacy models.

Main product families and technologies

• Fixtures (site and area): wall packs, canopy/ceiling fixtures, floodlights and area luminaires in LED and legacy HID/fluorescent formats (NRG, WGH/WPH, MIC-series examples).
• Reflectors and high bays: spun-aluminum and engineered reflector systems used in warehouses and high-bay installations.
• Mounting and accessories: slip-fitters, yokes, bullhorn brackets, pipe clamps, shields and wire guards for retrofit work.
• Controls and smart-city nodes: networked lighting controls, photocells and the CityIQ intelligent node family for municipal analytics.

Common applications

Typical uses include facility maintenance and retrofit, new-construction site lighting, industrial high-bay and smart-city deployments that leverage CityIQ sensors and edge analytics.

Model-identification and replacement guidance for buyers

• Read full model strings—example: WGH-70H is a 70 W pulse-start metal-halide wall pack; WPH-70S is a 70 W HPS refractor wall pack. Confirm voltage and lamp inclusion on the spec sheet.
• Use datasheets and photometrics to confirm UL listings, start temperature and IES files before ordering.
• Order accessories separately and verify mounting dimensions.

How Safsale helps procurement and model verification

Safsale product pages group Current items by category, include images and link to datasheets so buyers can visually confirm housing style and download installation and photometric documents. Safsale also provides reviews and Q&A that highlight common field experience with specific models.

Sourcing and procurement best practices

• Confirm warranty and service contacts given ownership/licensing changes.
• Order samples and photometric reports for critical installs.
• Consolidate detailed part data (PN, wattage, voltage, lens, accessories) on POs to avoid mismatches.
• Request installation instructions, IES files and UL listings as part of the procurement package.

Summary

Current by GE supplies a broad mix of commercial lighting fixtures, controls and smart-city products. Procurement teams will benefit from confirming model-level details on datasheets, using Safsale’s product pages, images and PDFs during specification and replacement planning.
