Cree Launches Warm-Light LED Luminaires For Residential Streetlights

LED chip, lamp and lighting fixture maker Cree Inc of Durham, NC, USA has launched the RSW LED Street Luminaire, the first of a new generation of streetlights that deliver LED energy savings and reliability in a warm color temperature that is preferred in many residential applications. Available now, the RSW LED streetlight utilizes Cree's proprietary WaveMax technology to provide warm, even light.

"Cree's RSW Series ensures residents will no longer have to live with the glare of street lights in their homes at night, saving municipalities time and energy while reducing resources allocated to managing residential complaints about harsh street lighting," says Norbert Hiller, executive VP of lighting.

The RSW LED Street Luminaire is claimed to be the first viable street light that delivers efficacy of up to 115LPW (lumens per Watt) at a color temperature of 3000K and color rendering index (CRI) of 80. Municipalities and utilities originally adopted LED lighting that used mostly cool-white LED technology to help achieve good efficacies and necessary economic advantages. With the RSW Series, municipalities no longer have to opt for cooler CCT solutions in order to optimize return on investment (ROI) and can deploy warm lighting solutions without sacrificing efficacy for residential applications. The result is enhanced visual comfort, reduced glare and higher color contrast for residential street lighting using less energy, says Cree.

The RSW Series features a new housing for easy installation and long-life durability. It is designed to meet a vast majority of challenging roadway and street lighting applications that range from low to high pedestrian conflict areas, making it a suitable platform solution for municipalities, cities and departments of transportation (DOTs).
