Cree extends LS Series LED surface ambient linear luminaire portfolio to 130lm/W

LED chip, lamp and lighting fixture maker Cree Inc of Durham, NC, USA has expanded its LS Series LED surface ambient portfolio by launching the LS-FD High Efficiency linear luminaire.

The new luminaire delivers luminous efficiency at 130 lumens per watt, allowing greater savings and faster payback, and is a suitable replacement for linear fluorescent lighting in retail, industrial or commercial spaces. The LS-FD High Efficiency products provide more choices, adding to the original LS Series TrueWhite products, which offer 90-plus CRI (color rendering index) for applications in which color accuracy is the driving consideration.

"Cree's new LS-FD High Efficiency surface ambient luminaire provides an optimal balance of energy savings and color rendering available with an attractive design, application flexibility and simplified installation," says David Elien, Cree senior VP & general manager, lighting. "Its versatile performance makes it easier than ever to make the switch to better LED technology," he adds.

The LS-FD High Efficiency luminaire suits new construction and upgrade applications demanding extreme efficiency and application flexibility, says Cree. Its slim design features an adaptive form factor compared with box-like fluorescent strip and wrap luminaires. A full-length lens housing allows multiple fixtures to be quickly installed for uniform illumination. The luminaire also features new product enhancements that allow fast installation for upgrade from fluorescent strip and wrap fixtures.

The LS-FD High Efficiency luminaire is DesignLights Consortium Premium qualified for maximum utility rebates and energy savings, often with a payback of two years or less. It also comes standard with dimming to 5%, versus 10% typically for fluorescent luminaires, it is reckoned. Backed by a 10-year warranty, the product offers a 75,000-hour lifetime at 35°C.

The full family of LS Series products features a highly diffused lens that eliminates pixilation and is available in color temperatures of 3500K, 4000K or 5000K.
