Cree disrupted the $1.7 billion lighting controls market with SmartCast™ Technology – the first self-programming wireless lighting-control system to reduces energy consumption by more than 70 percent (with LEDs), at half the cost of traditional lighting controls at the push of One Button.
Continuing to raise the bar for intelligent, uncompromised lighting experiences, Cree has introduced the first of its LED luminaries to feature adjustable color temperatures embedded with Cree’s groundbreaking SmartCast™ Technology. Combined with Cree’s TrueWhite® Technology, the CR Series Troffer system allows for superior color quality and consistency while providing greater flexibility to control illumination at no additional cost. This means warmer color temperatures when adjusted, with the high CRI and color quality Cree is known for.
The latest innovation demonstrates how Cree is furthering the possibilities of intelligent lighting, helping businesses create customized, cost-effective and vibrant visual environments, all while lowering energy and maintenance bills.
