Cree's IG luminaires and KR downlights now available to ship in volume

LED chip, lamp and lighting maker Cree Inc of Durham, NC, USA says that its IG Series parking garage luminaires and KR Series LED downlights are now available to ship in volume. Both series feature the firm's WaveMax Technology for commercial environments, an optical platform with a combination of control, uniformity and efficiency in new form factors that are claimed to be intelligent in both design and function.

Addressing challenges particular to parking garages, IG Series lighting is claimed to provide low-glare comfort and decreased LED source luminance to cast illumination that maximizes detail and defeats shadows, while delivering fast payback through energy efficiency.

Recently, Florida International University (FIU) in Miami installed Cree's KR Series LED downlights to upgrade its Graham Center Ballroom, with the new KR8 downlight bringing uniform light distribution and efficiency. FIU upgraded its event space lighting from halogen-lamped recessed downlights that produced hotspots and poor light distribution, compounded by the 18 foot mounting height.

"Cree's LED technology delivers a better lighting experience that is more uniform than our previous downlights," comments Sanyo Mathew, senior director of the Graham Center at FIU. "We're also benefiting from superior, continuous dimming, which is very important to providing the right amount of light for the various types of meetings hosted at the center."

Both the IG Series parking garage luminaire and the KR Series LED downlight are now available to order.
