Cree says its new LED downlight is tops in lighting efficacy

Cree Inc., Durham, N.C., has introduced the LR6-10L six-inch LED downlight, which delivers 1,000 lumens of 90+ CRI light while achieving 90 lumens per watt. The company says the technology used in the lamp enables it to offer energy savings of up to 50% compared to incumbent CFL technology or 30% compared to competing LED products. The LED downlight uses only 11W of power, and is available in color temperatures to match existing installations of incandescent, halogen and fluorescent technologies (2,700K, 3,000K, 3,500K and 4,000K).
