The new 6000 lumen LMH2 LED module from Cree is the module to offer color quality greater than 90 CRI at a consistent efficacy of 85 lumens per watt across a wide range of color temperatures (3,000K, 3,500K and 4,000K). The no-compromise LED solution is the ideal replacement for 100-watt ceramic metal halide (CMH) lamps in high-ceiling applications, using 30% less power, lasting three times as long and delivering instant-on, dimmable light. The Cree LMH2 family of modules delivers the only light source that can address such a wide range of lighting applications in a common form factor.

This allows lighting manufacturers to create an entire product portfolio with just one set of tooling and one optical design. Lighting products based on the LMH2 LED module also enable lighting designers to illuminate a space with one light source and technology, helping to eliminate the problems that come with using different lighting technologies such as color consistency and re-lamping. Lighting manufacturers looking to shorten the time to market for their luminaire design can also take advantage of the LMD600, Cree's cost-effective, universal driver that is designed to power the new 6000 lumen LHM2.

Dimmable to 1%, the LMD600 is optimized for a controllable, indoor architectural environment. The LMD600 can also handle up to 90degC case temperature and has a low-voltage limited-energy (LVLE) driver rating that does not require special enclosures or large gauge wires, delivering design flexibility and a low system cost for lighting manufacturers. Cree also offers a range of reflectors and heat sinks, as well as a splice box for the entire LMH2 LED module family.

The complete LMH2 module family is available in a range of lumens (850 to 6,000) and color temperatures (2,700K to 4,000K), delivering up to 108 lumens-per-watt efficacy and a CRI greater than 90. These lighting characteristics combined with multiple driver options, including Digital Addressable Lighting Interface (DALI) and DALI(R) touch dimming driver options, enable lighting manufacturers to expand their portfolio quickly and easily. Designed for 50,000 hours of operation, the LMH2 module comes with Cree's five-year warranty.

The LMH2 is also UL-recognized and complies with multiple international regulatory and safety standards. Luminaire makers seeking ENERGY STAR(R) qualification will have access to specification and performance data, including LM-80 reports, which can speed regulatory approvals.
