Cree launches its first high-lumen LED module for 230V Europe and Asia markets

LED chip, lamp and lighting fixture maker Cree Inc of Durham, NC, USA has launched the LMH6, a high-lumen LED module designed to further simplify lighting design, reduce overall cost, and accelerate time-to-market for customers in Europe and Asia. Featuring Cree TrueWhite Technology, the LMH6 module targets commercial applications where high efficacy, brightness and light quality are critical, such as restaurants, retail, airports, schools and hospitality lighting.

“The LMH6 module is designed with the needs of the 230V European and Asian lighting markets in mind,” says Scott Schwab, product line manager, Cree LED modules. “We are enabling our customers to address the 150mm and 200mm downlight market with beautiful, energy-efficient lighting offering the highest quality and efficacy available in the industry,” he claims.

Adding to its existing LMR2 and LMR4 LED modules, the LMH6 is the first high-lumen product in Cree’s fully integrated LED module family. Designed to last at least 50,000 hours, the LMH6 delivers 2000 lumens at 74 lumens per watt or 2900 lumens at 78 lumens per watt. It is available in correlated color temperatures (CCTs) of 3000K and 4000K, both with a color rendering index (CRI) of 90.

Fully integrated DALI dimming allows greater flexibility and control compared to traditional dimming systems, Cree claims. Integrated driver electronics, optics and primary thermal management result in a drop-in ready solution and locking tabs that can simplify the design of additional trim kits, the firm adds.

The 230V LMH6 module complies with multiple international standards and is RoHS compliant. Sample evaluation kits are available now, and production quantities are available with standard lead times.
