Energy-efficient recessed lighting system
improves the illumination of any design space
Cree, Inc. (NASDAQ: CREE) announces the FLEX Series LED Troffer,
a new lighting system that gives architects and lighting specifiers
remarkable design freedom, to address the $1.2 billion
specification tier of the industry. This represents an enormous
opportunity for a switch to energy-efficient LEDs, as recessed
fluorescent troffers comprise 50 percent of all luminaires used in
the U.S. commercial market, according to the Department of
Energy.
The FLEX Series LED Specification troffer combines aesthetic
appeal, design flexibility and premium performance into a slim
luminaire design that fits virtually any ceiling type. With five
customizable inner-optic choices, architects and designers can
create distinctive environments across diverse applications – from
corporate offices to hospitals, schools and retail – with just one
fixture to spec. Featuring standard one percent 0-10V dimming and
optional SmartCast® Technology for intelligent lighting control,
illumination levels are easily adjusted to adapt to changing
conditions.
“What makes the FLEX Series unique is that it not only offers
the industry-leading efficiency our customers have come to expect,
but it was specifically designed to meet the needs of architects
and lighting designers,” said Craig Atwater, Cree senior vice
president and general manager, lighting. “From its high-quality
light and designer dimming and control, to its extensive lumen
packages and inner optic choices, every detail was designed to
promote creativity and ease of specification.”
The FLEX Series adds style and energy efficiency even in the
most challenging designer applications. Higher lumen packages can
be mounted up to 20 feet and offer up to 6,000 lumens of superior,
low-glare illumination, ideal for more light-intensive
applications. By drastically reducing flicker, the FLEX Series
troffer can minimize fatigue, headaches and stroboscopic hazards,
and help increase productivity and improve video telepresence
applications in the office and classroom. Add to this superior
efficacy up to 145 LPW, and the FLEX Series boasts DLC® Premium
status, qualifying for the largest rebates and driving fast
paybacks nationwide.
The new Cree® FLEX Series troffer is available to order now and
is sold through Cree lighting sales channels throughout the United
States and Canada. Please visit https://lighting.cree.com/FLEX to
