Cree, Inc. (Nasdaq: CREE) announces the next generation of its
groundbreaking Cree® RSW LED Street Light portfolio with the
introduction of 2700K, 5000K and 70 Color Rendering Index (CRI)
configurations, giving cities and municipalities the ability to
meet the full range of lighting preferences for their communities
without sacrificing energy savings. The enhanced series includes
RSW™ Small and Medium models that offer warm, inviting light for
residential streets and clean, white illumination for roadways.
Both deliver improved performance for superior efficacy with
uniform and dark-sky friendly LED lighting.
“Cree’s RSW Series enables municipalities to save time, energy
and resources with LED street lighting without sacrificing the
comfort of residents,” said David Elien, Cree senior vice president
and general manager, lighting. “The additional offerings ensure
that community officials can address the unique requirements of
each roadway application while using less energy and providing
enhanced visual comfort without the glare of street lights spilling
into neighborhood properties at night.”
Municipalities and utilities are under constant pressure to
lower operating costs while providing safe and visually appealing
light. The expanded series delivers superior efficacy of up to 128
LPW, outperforming High Pressure Sodium (HPS) solutions with up to
70 percent more energy savings and replacing HPS fixtures ranging
up to 150W.
Utilizing Cree’s revolutionary WaveMax® Technology, the RSW
Series delivers market-leading color quality and efficacy while
providing enhanced visual comfort with reduced glare and high color
contrast. The RSW Series is also smart-city ready, enabled by a
standard NEMA 7-pin.
“With so much discussion around LED street lighting, selecting
the right solution can be challenging,” said Elien. “Cree believes
choosing better light should be easy, so we have designed the RSW
Series to meet the needs of everyone involved in the process: the
buyer, the installer, as well as the people who live under
them.”
The Cree® RSW Series is backed by Cree’s industry-leading
10-year warranty and available through Cree lighting sales channels
throughout the U.S. and Canada. Please visit
