Cree LED troffer replacements certified
The firm’s CR and LR troffers have passed tests by the utility-led organisation, the DLC.
LED innovator Cree, has announced its entire family of LED-based troffer replacements have been qualified by the DesignLights Consortium (DLC).
Cree says that this ensures that its CR14, CR22, CR24, LR24 and LR24-HE troffers are of the highest quality and are the most efficient with the highest CRI of any products rated in the DLC “Linear Panel” categories.
The DLC is a collaboration of utility companies and regional energy efficiency organisations and certifies the quality and performance of energy-efficient lighting. Its goal is to ensure that high-quality, energy-efficient lighting design becomes commonplace in all commercial lighting installations.
The DLC Qualified Product List is used by utilities around the country to encourage the deployment of high-performance solid-state lighting fixtures not covered by existing ENERGY STAR standards, such as LED-based troffers and low/high-bay fixtures.
“For non-ENERGY STAR lighting categories, the DLC Qualified Product List is the de facto standard for high-quality, energy-efficient lighting,” said Craig Lofton, Cree, vice president of sales, LED Lighting. “Cree continues to drive the commercial lighting market, particularly with the release of our LED-based troffer family, and we are pleased that many utilities are now offering rebates on our products to accelerate the LED lighting revolution. In fact, the Cree CR14 and CR24 are the only 1x4 and 2x4 troffers qualified by the DLC.”
Cree LED troffer replacements are sold through Cree LED Lighting sales channels and are available for immediate shipment.
