Cree LED Lighting Solutions’ LR6 Dimmable Recessed Downlight Exceeds Energy Star Performance Guidelines
Concord, NH – January 12, 2010 – GreenPoma.com, an online retailer of premium environmentally friendly, energy-efficient lighting products, is pleased to announce that it will begin offering the LR6 Recessed Downlight from Cree, Inc. The downlight module, one of Cree’s forward-looking LED lighting solutions, exceeds U.S. Department of Energy Solid-State Lighting standards for efficacy, light output, color quality and lifetime.
“We’re slowly embracing premium LED lighting solutions for applications where hours of daily use are six hours or more,” said Peter Ellinwood, Co-Owner of GreenPoma.com. “For many upscale homeowners, this means a kitchen, great room or combination where ceilings often include the recessed housings that the LR6 is designed to fit.”
The LR6 energy-efficient lighting module uses 81% less electricity than a comparable 65 watt incandescent bulb and lasts 25 times longer. And unlike a compact fluorescent (CFL) reflector bulb, it reaches full output instantly, dims smoothly down to 20% (using standard dimmer switches) and contains no mercury. It’s available in warm white (2700K) and neutral white (3500K) colors and has a color rendering index (CRI) of 92. Cree’s LED lighting solutions are easily installed in most standard six-inch recessed housings.
“The LR6 is a cutting-edge residential lighting solution from an award-winning solid-state lighting manufacturer,” continued Ellinwood. “We love the fact that eight of these can replace 200 incandescent bulbs, or 50 CFLs, and the resulting landfill waste, over their 50,000 hour lifetime.” To browse GreenPoma’s selection of energy-efficient lighting solutions for fine homes and businesses, please visit www.GreenPoma.com.
