Cree Inc. introduces the LMH2 LED Module with sunset dimming, which is similar to the dimming experience of incandescent lighting. The new module enables a natural dimming profile that was previously unachievable with any other energy-saving technology. Cree’s sunset dimming technology dims smoothly from 2700K to 1800K delivering rich, warm light for applications requiring a traditional style of dimming such as hospitality and residential settings, while still achieving over 80 percent energy reduction compared to energy-inefficient incandescents.
The robust LMH2 module family now lets lighting manufacturers address a wide range of lighting technologies with a one module form factor. The aesthetically pleasing module leverages one product platform to create an entire luminaire portfolio, delivering the investment protection necessary to quickly and cost effectively address most lighting applications.
Available in a range of lumens (850 to 3000) at 2700K and multiple driver options, LMH2 modules with sunset dimming technology can plug-in seamlessly to existing LMH2 module drivers and reflectors, and are also compatible with TRIAC dimmers—meaning the high-performance module can be easily retrofitted in any room with traditional dimming technologies or used in new installations with 0 – 10V or Digital Addressable Lighting Interface (DALI) dimming technologies.
Designed for 50,000 hours of operation and dimmable to five percent, the LMH2 module comes with Cree’s five-year warranty. Luminaire makers seeking ENERGY STAR qualification will have access to specification and performance data, including LM-80 reports, which can speed regulatory approvals.
