Business Wire
Cree, Inc. (Nasdaq: CREE) expands the market-leading LS Series
LED surface ambient portfolio with the introduction of the new
LS-FD™ High Efficiency linear luminaire. The new luminaire delivers
excellent light quality and energy efficiency at 130 lumens per
watt for greater savings and faster payback, and serves as an ideal
replacement for linear fluorescent lighting in retail, industrial
or commercial spaces. The LS-FD High Efficiency products provide
customers more choices from Cree, adding to the original LS Series
TrueWhite® products, which offer exceptional 90-plus CRI color
rendering for applications in which color accuracy is the driving
consideration.
“Cree’s new LS-FD™ High Efficiency surface ambient luminaire
provides an optimal balance of energy savings and color rendering
available with an attractive design, application flexibility and
simplified installation,” said David Elien, Cree senior vice
president and general manager, lighting. “Its versatile performance
makes it easier than ever to make the switch to better LED
technology.”
The LS-FD High Efficiency luminaire produces better light
experiences for new construction and upgrade applications demanding
extreme efficiency and application flexibility. Its slim design
features a uniquely adaptive and elegant form factor that outshines
box-like fluorescent strip and wrap luminaires. A full-length lens
housing allows multiple fixtures to be quickly installed for
seamless, uniform illumination. The luminaire also features new
product enhancements that allow fast and easy installation for a
no-hassle upgrade from fluorescent strip and wrap fixtures.
The new Cree® LS-FD High Efficiency luminaire is DesignLights
Consortium® Premium qualified for maximum utility rebates and
energy savings, often with a payback of two years or less. It also
comes standard with best-in-class dimming to five percent, versus
the 10 percent typical of fluorescent luminaires. Backed by an
industry-leading 10-year warranty, the product offers exceptional
longevity and performance with a 75,000-hour lifetime at 35 C.
The full family of LS Series products features a highly diffused
lens that eliminates pixilation and is available in color
temperatures of 3500K, 4000K or 5000K.
The Cree LS-FD High Efficiency luminaire is available now and
sold through Cree lighting sales channels throughout the U.S.
