SmartCast Technology Brings Simplicity and Affordability to Lighting Control Systems
Cree’s Lighting Control Technology: Game-Changing SmartCast Made Simple and Super Efficient!
Let’s talk Cree lighting control technology! I’m absolutely buzzing about a breakthrough in green lighting that’s going to revolutionize how we think about energy efficiency. Moreover, this innovation tackles the biggest obstacles that have kept smart lighting controls from reaching their full potential!
Self-Programming Magic at Your Fingertips
Cree has just launched their incredible SmartCast™ Technology! Furthermore, it’s the first self-programming wireless lighting control system that slashes energy consumption by more than 70 percent. Meanwhile, it costs half as much as traditional lighting controls.
Have you ever avoided smart lighting because it seemed too complicated? Therefore, Cree designed this system to be intuitive and user-friendly. Consequently, customers can now easily achieve maximum energy savings without the headaches of complex setups.
Why Traditional Controls Have Failed Us
“Commercial lighting customers have resisted installing traditional lighting controls because of excess cost and complexity,” explains Norbert Hiller, Cree’s executive vice president of lighting. Additionally, he notes that most people who install controls actually stop using them properly after just one year!
The reason? They’re simply too difficult to maintain. Nevertheless, Cree SmartCast™ Technology eliminates these adoption barriers. Hence, users can finally experience the true promise of lighting controls!
OneButton™ Setup: Lighting That Programs Itself
I’m particularly excited about their innovative OneButton™ Setup feature! For instance, luminaires with SmartCast™ Technology create their own secure network automatically. Subsequently, they learn about their environment and form groups to maximize savings.
And here’s the best part – all of this happens with just one button press! Therefore, you don’t need any additional design time, extra wires, or complicated setup procedures. In fact, this is undoubtedly the simplest controls system available today.
Real-World Success Stories
John Gardiner, facilities manager at LORD Corporation, is already seeing amazing results. “Cree exceeded our expectations of what a lighting controls system could provide,” he shares enthusiastically.
His maintenance team installed the Cree® CR22™ architectural LED troffers with SmartCast Technology throughout their corporate headquarters in minutes! As a result, they saved thousands on programming and setup costs. Furthermore, they expect significant ongoing savings on energy consumption and maintenance.
Availability and Compliance
You can currently find this technology in Cree’s CR Series LED troffers, CS Series linear luminaires, and KR Series downlights. Additionally, there’s a 0-10V interface for controlling existing dimmable LED luminaires.
These energy-saving features aren’t just good for your wallet – they’re also compliant with emerging code requirements throughout the United States and Canada. Hence, you’re future-proofing your lighting system while cutting costs!
