Cree offers 10-year warranty on intelligent lighting systems

LED chip, lamp and lighting fixture maker Cree Inc of Durham, NC, USA has introduced what it claims is the first 10-year warranty for intelligent lighting systems on all new SmartCast Technology luminaires with integrated sensors. Cree SmartCast Technology delivers up to 70% energy savings for half the cost of other solutions, it is claimed.

"After millions of cumulative hours of accelerated lifetime testing, Cree is confident that it has proven the long-term reliability of its intelligent lighting products," says David Elien, senior VP, lighting.

The new 10-year warranty covers all Cree commercial-grade SmartCast Technology troffers and suspended luminaires. It is said to lower the total cost of ownership and overall install costs for SmartCast Technology customers compared with control systems that require additional costs for extended warranties and are often limited to five-year terms.

Every luminaire in the SmartCast Technology portfolio uses OneButton Setup to commission up to an entire building with a single stroke, offering intelligence that is live within minutes. The result enables personalized, task-specific environments that adapt to users in each space for increased productivity. It also applies what it learns to drive energy costs lower for continual operational improvement, says Cree. The firm adds that SmartCast Technology reduces design time, wires and setup time often associated with traditional controls systems. The system provides smart lighting that meets existing and emerging building codes and operates wirelessly or over Power over Ethernet.

Cree SmartCast Technology is sold through Cree lighting sales channels throughout the USA and Canada.
