which means daylight harvesting has never been more affordable

One year after introducing the revolutionary CR Series LED Troffer, Cree, Inc. (Nasdaq: CREE) is expanding the CR Troffer family to address more applications and to eliminate the use of antiquated fluorescent technology in new or retrofit commercial and industrial settings. Cree is also announcing new pricing to drive even faster payback for building contractors, designers and owners.

The CR Series offers payback-friendly pricing and a no-compromise alternative to fluorescent lighting — consuming nearly 50 percent less energy than a comparable linear fluorescent and delivering more than twice the lifetime. With an estimated payback of less than one year in a typical new office installation, Cree troffers provide superior performance and greater energy savings over fluorescent options.*

The new troffers now address three times the number of applications, including surface-mount, in-ceiling retrofits and suspended light engine luminaires. The popular CR24? and CR22? Troffers are available to ship directly from stock to accommodate high demand and jump-start end-user payback. Pricing for 0-10V dimming control to five-percent is significantly reduced, which means daylight harvesting has never been more affordable.

“In my 28 years in the electrical industry, I have never had as much excitement and success with a product line as I have with the Cree? CR Series LED Troffers,” said David Fredd, manager lighting business development, Graybar. “No other lighting manufacturer offers this level of energy saving performance and color quality — Cree CR Series Troffers deliver a combination of performance, pricing and efficacy that is truly untouchable.”

The CR Series has expanded three-fold by offering CR24 upgrade kits, a standalone light engine and SMK Series surface mount kits. The CR24 UPKIT provides a quick upgrade solution to replace existing, outdated fluorescent luminaires while leaving the ceiling intact. The light engine, CR-LE, is now available as a standalone luminaire and offers an economical alternative to replacing fluorescent strips in “back-of-the-house” lighting applications. The entire CR Series of troffers and light engines can now be installed in surface mount applications — extending payback beyond T-bar ceilings. All of these solutions are built on the same great performance of the CR Troffer and are now available in the new 3000 Kelvin color temperature for retail and hospitality applications demanding beautiful, warm light.
