Cree's latest LED troffers suit many applications
The company's III-nitride CR Series now delivers up to 130 LPW with a standard efficacy of 100 LPW
With its patented TrueWhite Technology, Cree is launching the CR Series LED architectural high efficacy (HE) troffer with 130 lumens per watt (LPW) and 90 CRI.
Cree is also increasing the efficacy of its standard CR family to 100 lumens per watt.
The firm is also expanding the CR troffer line with the new CR Series High Definition (HD) troffer, featuring over 80 CRI with an enhanced colour spectrum and high R9 values using proprietary colour mixing and tuning technology.
The HD technology delivers higher colour quality than traditional 80 CRI fluorescent troffers.
The new CR Series HD troffer effectively targets applications where a slightly lower quality of light is an acceptable trade-off for a lower initial cost.
Delivering high performance and a low cost per lumen, the Cree CR Series has a ten-year warranty and a lifetime of up to 100,000 hours.
An innovative thermal management system and room-side heat sink enable the LEDs to consistently run cooler, providing significant boosts to lifetime, efficacy and colour consistency.
The new CR Series HE troffer consumes nearly 60 percent less energy than a comparable linear fluorescent 34W T12 system and nearly 50 percent less when compared to an existing 32W T8 system.
“These new troffers deliver a no-compromise alternative to fluorescent lighting,” says Greg Merritt, vice president, lighting at Cree. “This is another example of Cree pushing the performance boundaries to improve energy savings and enable faster payback over a broader range of products to accelerate LED lighting adoption.”
The CR Series troffer family includes three models, the CR14 1 x 4 troffer, CR22 2 x 2 troffer and CR24 2 x 4 troffer, is available in a wide range of colour temperatures to match existing fluorescent technologies (3000K, 3500K and 4000K) and now offers new 5000K for all CR Series LED troffers.

Dimming control down to five percent and emergency backup features are also available.
The CR Series is sold through Cree lighting sales channels which can be accessed on the company's website.
