Cree introduces new CR Series LED troffer family

LED chip, lamp and lighting fixture maker Cree Inc of Durham, NC, USA has introduced the CR Series LED Architectural High-Efficacy (HE) troffer, with 130 lumens per watt and 90 CRI. Furthermore, the firm is increasing the efficacy of the standard CR family to 100 lumens per watt.

Cree is further expanding the CR troffer line with the new CR Series High-Definition (HD) troffer, featuring 80+ CRI with enhanced color spectrum and high R9 values via Cree’s proprietary color-mixing and tuning technology. HD technology delivers higher color quality than traditional 80-CRI fluorescent troffers, says Cree.

Cree’s CR Series offers a ten-year warranty and is designed to provide a lifetime of up to 100,000 hours. Its thermal management system and room-side heat sink enable the LEDs to consistently run cooler, providing significant boosts to lifetime, efficacy and color consistency, adds the firm. The CR Series HE troffer consumes nearly 60% less energy than a comparable linear fluorescent 34-W T12 system and nearly 50% less when compared to an existing 32-W T8 system.

The CR Series troffer family is available in three models, the CR14 1x4 troffer, CR22 2x2 troffer and CR24 2x4 troffer, and comes in a range of color temperatures to match existing fluorescent technologies (3000K, 3500K and 4000K), plus a new 5000K for all CR Series LED troffers. Dimming control down to 5% and emergency backup features also are available.
