Cree’s LEDway HO Roadway luminaire replaces 400W high-pressure sodium lighting, halving energy use

LED chip, lamp and lighting fixture maker Cree Inc of Durham, NC, USA is building on its LED street light portfolio with the LEDway High Output (HO) LED street light.

With its higher lumen output, it enables the LEDway Series to address large multi-lane freeways and expressway applications, replacing inefficient high-pressure sodium (HPS) lighting up to 400W from a single platform. The LEDway HO LED street light provides highly focused, directional light at nine adjustable lumen output levels, reducing energy consumption by more than 50% compared to HPS street lights in most roadway applications, it is reckoned.

“As we’ve already seen with thousands of LEDway Series installations throughout North America and Europe, the Cree LEDway HO LED street light represents another example of why municipalities, departments of transportation and investor-owned utilities should move to proven Cree LED lighting over incumbent, inefficient technologies,” says Greg Merritt, Cree’s VP marketing, lighting. “With virtually no maintenance and using significantly less energy than a 400W HPS, the LEDway HO LED street light dramatically lowers customers’ total cost of ownership,” he adds, emphasizing Cree’s 10-year limited warranty.

Designed for multi-lane freeways, expressways and roadways, Cree’s LEDway HO LED street light is enabled with NanoOptic Precision Delivery Grid optic technology to deliver better optical control and more uniform white light than HPS. Also, with the LEDway HO LED street light’s adjustable lumen output option, one type of fixture can be used to meet the lighting and energy needs for a variety of applications.

The LEDway High Output LED street light is sold through Cree lighting sales channels throughout the USA and Canada.
