Cree Introduces Industry's Highest Performing LED Module
Cree has expanded its LMH2 LED module family with the introduction of the LMH2+, which it claims is the industry's highest performing LED module, delivering 30 percent better performance than the previous generation in the same form factor. It provides 125 lumens per watt with colour-quality greater than 90 CRI.
"Cree's dedication to LED innovation is evident in the LMH2+," said Wesley Johnson, sales director, Hi-Lite Mfg. Co. "This product is just what we are looking for to satisfy the higher efficacy requirements of our customers."
Featuring elements of Cree's SC5 Technology Platform, the efficacy of the LMH2+ drives new applications, enables smaller luminaires and lowers system cost, according to Cree. The LMH2+ allows lighting manufacturers to address more challenging installations such as those with space constraints or higher ambient temperatures.
"The LMH2+ is another breakthrough innovation from Cree that delivers more than just an incremental improvement," said Paul Thieken, Cree director of marketing, LED Components. "The LMH2+ enables lighting manufacturers to continue to lead the market in performance and light quality without incurring the time and expense of a major design change."
The LMH2+ is a drop-in upgrade for LMH2-based designs, providing an immediate boost in performance compared to the previous generation. Like all LMH2 modules, the LMH2+ delivers the same efficacy across all colour temperatures.
According to Cree, lighting manufacturers can use existing ecosystems, tooling and optic design elements to accelerate time to market and lower design cost. In addition, UL rating will be available for maximum and nominal currents to provide more driver options and design flexibility.
The LMH2+ LED Module is available at 1250, 2000 and 3000 lumens and in colour temperatures of 2700 K, 3000 K, 3500 K and 4000 K at 90+ CRI. Designed for 50,000 hours of operation and dimmable to five percent, the LMH2+ is backed by Cree's five year warranty.
