Cree has introduced a new class of LED modules designed to accelerate the adoption of LED lighting by traditional lighting fixture manufacturers and speed time-to-market for their new LED-based fixtures. With the new products, the customers will now have access to the company's TrueWhite technology allowing them to deliver efficient, high-quality light in a compact, easy-to-use product.
The first product in the new line is the LMR4 LED module, created to overcome common design issues manufacturers have faced when trying to incorporate LED solutions into their lighting fixtures. The module integrates driver electronics, optics and primary thermal management, making the compact module drop-in-ready.
Designed to last 35,000 hours while consuming just 12W of power, it delivers 700lm at a warm-white colour temperature of 2700 with a CRI 90. Fixture manufacturers have the option to include a specially designed heat sink to accommodate specific high-heat applications, like downlights for insulated ceilings.
The LMR4 (120V) is UL recognized and the LMR4 (230V) complies with multiple international standards. Fixture makers seeking Energy Star qualification will have access to specification and performance data, including LM-80 reports, which can speed regulatory approvals
