Cree, Inc. introduces
a new class of products designed to accelerate the adoption of LED lighting by
traditional lighting fixture manufacturers and speed time-to-market for their
new LED-based fixtures. With this new line of LED
module products, Cree customers will now have access to Cree's
award-winning TrueWhiteTM technology allowing them to deliver efficient,
high-quality light in a compact, easy-to-use product.
The first
product in the new line is the Cree LED Module LMR4, created to overcome common
design issues manufacturers have faced when trying to incorporate LED solutions
into their lighting fixtures.
The Cree LED
Module LMR4 uniquely integrates driver electronics, optics and primary thermal
management, making the compact Cree module drop-in-ready. Designed to last
35,000 hours while consuming just 12 watts of power, it delivers 700 lumens at
a warm-white color temperature of 2700 with a CRI >90. Fixture manufacturers
have the option to include a specially designed heat sink to accommodate
specific high-heat applications, like downlights for insulated ceilings.
The LMR4
(120V) is UL recognized and the LMR4 (230V) complies with multiple
international standards. Fixture makers seeking ENERGY STAR® qualification will
have access to specification and performance data, including LM-80 reports,
which can speed regulatory approvals.

"We've never
seen or worked with any LED product as simple as the Cree LED Module," said
Miroslav Masar, OMS, LED Department director. "We anticipate our new downlight
will be available in summer 2010-and that's less than six months from when we
started working with prototypes of the module. In a fast-paced industry like
lighting, this is a keen advantage for us."
The Cree LED Module LMR4 can be ordered now for summer 2010 general
availability, and sample evaluation kits are available now directly from Cree's
website, www.cree.com/modules. Demonstrations of the LMR4 can be seen at Cree's
Light + Building stand (Hall 4.2, G71), April 11-16, 2010 in Frankfurt,
Germany.
The LMR4 has
also been designed into demonstration fixtures that can be seen at Disano, Hall
3.1 E21; OMS, Hall 4.2 F10/G10; and LTS, Hall 3.1 A51.
