LED chip, lamp and lighting fixture maker Cree Inc of Durham, NC, USA has introduced its new 100 lumens per watt AR Series LED architectural troffers, with a flush mount white housing that helps it blend seamlessly into any ceiling design, says the firm.
Providing 33% energy savings versus standard T8 fluorescent solutions and a lifetime of up to 75,000 hours, the AR Series is covered by Cree’s 10-year limited warranty.
“The AR Series provides an excellent option to the lighting specifier, designer or customer who is seeking aesthetic options to our standard CR Series LED troffer,” said Greg Merritt, vice president, lighting at Cree. “We now have a fully luminous troffer, with a new architectural look suitable for applications such as corporate offices, up-market retail merchandising spaces and automotive retail applications.”
AR Series troffers are available in two models, the AR22 troffer and AR24 troffer, and a range of color temperatures to match existing fluorescent technologies (3500K and 4000K). The AR Series supports dimming down to 5% with industry standard 0-10V controls. Lutron EcoSystem enabled AR Series troffers supporting dimming down to 5% are targeted to be available in mid-2013.
