LED chip, lamp and lighting fixture maker Cree Inc of Durham, NC, USA has expanded its Essentia by Cree product portfolio with the new LED Surface Wrap, which delivers luminous efficacy of 115 lumens per watt (LPW).
"The new Essentia by Cree LED Surface Wrap is ideal for diverse commercial applications where customers are replacing traditional fluorescent fixtures in hallways, utility rooms and low ceiling areas," says David Elien, senior VP, lighting.
Traditional surface wrap fixtures with 2-foot and 4-foot fluorescent tubes are ubiquitous in both institutional and residential buildings, casting harsh, buzzing illumination that is familiar in corridors, stairwells and work areas, says the firm. The Essentia by Cree LED Surface Wrap provides clean white light with a low-profile arc lens design that mounts easily on ceilings or walls. The product comes standard with 0-10V dimming to 5% and is available with an emergency backup option. A field-installed occupancy sensor is also available to further enhance energy savings.
The Essentia by Cree LED Wrap's performance meets the DLC 3.1 Premium certification standard and qualifies for rebate incentives that can improve payback. The new wrap also meets California Title 24 and other stringent electrical codes requiring dimming control and emergency backup.
The Essentia by Cree lighting portfolio comes with a five-year limited warranty. The LED Surface Wrap is available now and sold through Cree lighting sales channels throughout the USA.
