LR6 LED Luminaire for performance and qualityThe
LR6 is an all-in-one LED luminaire that converts six-inch recessed cans
into energy-efficient lighting.
The LR6 consumes just 12 watts of
energy, which is 85-percent less than a traditional incandescent and
50-percent less than a compact fluorescent, while providing
industry-leading light quality and aesthetics. A unique feature of the
LR6 is the available Edison base that allows the retrofit of existing
cans in minutes with no rewiring or special tools.
“The
innovative design of the LR6 is truly unique in the industry, and we
are pleased that it has been recognized through this prestigious
award,” said Neal Hunter, president, Cree LED Lighting Solutions. “It
was created for the critical need of energy efficiency combined with a
user-friendly design that allows for easy installation.”
“LED
lighting is ready today to help address the world’s energy needs,” said
Chuck Swoboda, Cree CEO and chairman. “Cree continues to drive
improvements in LED technology and to help accelerate adoption of
energy-efficient, environmentally friendly LED lights, such as the LR6.”

LR6 is available through lighting showrooms and lighting and electrical
wholesalers in all 50 U.S. states and across Canada (visit
