A new version of Cree's LR6 dowlight, designed for 220V to 240V electrical systems, has been released to address Europe, Asia, and other major markets.
LR6 Delivers Energy-Efficient and Environmentally Safe Lighting
The LR6-230V is based on Cree’s lighting-class XLamp® LEDs and patented color-mixing technology. This combination allows the LR6-230V to excel in three critical elements – color quality (CRI Ra 94), efficiency and longevity – delivering unprecedented LED lighting performance.
“The high quality of light and the energy efficiency of LEDs enable our fixtures to deliver unprecedented value,” said Neal Hunter, president of Cree LLS.
The LR6 earned recognition as the grand prize winner in a 2007 competition sponsored by the American Lighting Association with performance verified by tests in independent labs under the direction of the U.S. Department of Energy. The assessment praised the LR6 with “high marks for light output and color quality with luminaire efficacy exceeding even the most efficient fluorescent downlights currently available.”
The LR6-230V uses 12 watts of electricity and produces light comparable to a 75-watt incandescent. It uses approximately 85 percent less energy and lasts up to 50 times longer; more than 20 years in homes and 10 years in businesses under normal use conditions. Compared to compact fluorescent (CFL), Cree’s LED lights use 50 percent less energy and last up to five times longer.
With Cree LED lighting solutions, home and business owners worldwide have an energy-efficient lighting alternative superior to conventional lighting and CFLs and free from the environmental risks from mercury in CFLs.
