LED chip, lamp and lighting maker Cree Inc of Durham, NC, USA has introduced a new range of LED bulbs, which deliver 460 lumens (40-watt replacement) and 815 lumens (60-watt replacement) in soft white (2700K) and daylight (5000K) color temperatures inside a durable, shatterproof housing. Both new bulbs have achieved ENERGY STAR certification by meeting all the high performance requirements, says the firm.
Betty Noonan, Cree's chief marketing officer, says, "We believe that better light changes everything, and the newest Cree LED Bulb reflects our commitment to never compromise on performance."
In keeping with Cree's belief that customers should not compromise, the new Cree LED bulb is built to deliver true LED performance in color quality, light output and dimming. It has an improved longer lifetime of over 27 years (30,000 hours), lasting as much as six times longer than some LED bulbs. Its 4Flow Filament Design ensures that it looks and lights like a traditional incandescent. The new bulb also provides consumers with a higher color rendering index of 83 to better display colors, true ENERGY STAR compliant omnidirectional distribution for all-around light, and is fully dimmable with most standard dimmers and suitable for enclosed fixtures. The new range is backed by a 100% satisfaction guarantee.
