Cree Expands into New Industrial High Bay Applications with HXB Series
July 26 2016 - 9:00AM
Business Wire
Cree, Inc. (Nasdaq: CREE) introduces the new Cree® HXB Series
LED High Bay Luminaire, the first of its kind to operate in extreme
ambient temperatures spanning -40F to +149F and delivering 70,000
lumens at up to 140 lumens per watt (LPW). The industry-leading
luminaire can be mounted at heights of 30 feet and higher, and
comes with optical options including flood and aisle distributions.
The HXB High Bay Series brings Cree technology to new applications
such as cold-storage spaces with sub-zero temperatures and
high-heat climates like warehouses and airplane hangars.
“Cree continues to provide better light experiences by
delivering on the true potential of LED technology,” said David
Elien, Cree senior vice president, lighting. “The HXB Series
redefines the high-bay category with extraordinary rated lifetimes
and industry-leading lumens per watt even in extreme operating
temperatures that are found in distribution centers, gymnasiums and
field house applications.”
The HXB Series withstands freezing cold and severe heat, all at
less than half the weight and double the warranty of competing LED
high-bay fixtures. It is precisely engineered for performance today
and for 100,000 hours of use, with a virtually maintenance-free
design, zero restrike time and lightweight construction. A unique
aluminum bonded zipper fin heat sink provides unmatched thermal
management for long lifetime and exceptional efficacy in extreme
operating temperatures. With less material than cast aluminum heat
sinks, the HXB Series is half the weight of competing luminaires,
for easier installation.
The series is available with 35,000 and 70,000 lumen output
options of exceptional illumination performance, offering
one-for-one replacement of 500W and 1000W HID luminaires at color
temps of 3500K, 4000K or 5000K at up to and beyond 80 CRI. It
is designed for simple installation with a universal mounting
system, all wrapped in an attractive and unique two-piece
impact-resistant polycarbonate glare shield available in
translucent or opaque with an optional uplight feature.
The new Cree HXB Series LED High Bay Luminaire is available to
order now and sold through Cree lighting sales channels throughout
the United States and Canada. Please visit
