Business Wire
Cree, Inc. (Nasdaq: CREE) continues to break efficiency records
with the next generation of its best-selling CPY 13,000 lumen LED
canopy luminaire, delivering category-leading efficiency of up to
136 lumens per watt (LPW). This new 13,000 lumen Cree® canopy
luminaire offers superior illumination and industry-leading
efficiency, as well as easy installation and lower total cost of
ownership for better light experiences. Already a favorite with
canopy owners for its uniform, clean white light, the 13,000 lumen
CPY luminaire boosts efficacy by 20 percent, lowering operating
costs while enhancing roadside visibility and appeal at service
stations, convenience stores and drive-through restaurants or
banking locations.
“Gas stations, travel centers and quick-service restaurants are
under constant pressure to increase traffic and lower operating
costs while providing safe and visually appealing lighting,” said
David Elien, Cree senior vice president, lighting. “The Cree®
CPY 13,000 lumen LED canopy luminaire delivers superior
illumination that provides a comfortable, visually appealing
environment for a better overall customer experience while
significantly trimming operating costs.”
The improved luminaire is DesignLights Consortium® Premium
qualified for maximum utility rebates and now generates added
energy savings of $12 a year per luminaire, totaling cost
reductions of more than $34,000 over 10 years for a typical
petroleum retrofit installation.* It is also Class I, Division 2
hazardous-location rated for direct mount applications, with an
expanded range of options for areas where flammable liquids and
gasses are present.
Replacing metal halide luminaires with the CPY Series canopy
luminaire is quick and simple with a slim, low-profile design that
eliminates the need to cut into the canopy deck and a seamless
direct mount that provides a water-tight seal in virtually any
canopy or soffit for easy installation.
The entire CPY Series is also available at 4000K, and comes with
Cree’s industry-leading 10-year limited warranty. There are two
optics choices, a flat or prismatic drop lens to meet the visual,
as well as the vertical and horizontal illumination performance
needs of a typical canopy application. The integrated driver within
the canopy housing further simplifies installation, reducing
installation time and cost.
The Cree CPY Series is available now and sold through Cree
lighting sales channels throughout the U.S. Please visit

*Payback and energy savings are based on the national average
electricity rate, recommended maintenance schedule, and typical
maintenance costs over common assessment periods (application
life).
