Linear fixtures are now being specified on about half of new construction and fluorescent retrofit high-bay installations. To meet this need, Cree Inc of Durham, NC, USA is expanding its industrial lighting portfolio with the new LXB Series linear high-bay luminaires, featuring enhanced efficacy, reliability and an extended lifetime (suiting high ceilings, high ambient temperatures and high-profile spaces).
“The LXB Series significantly extends Cree’s reach into the industrial new construction and retrofit market,” says Craig Atwater, Cree senior VP & general manager, lighting. “The new linear high-bay’s exceptional thermal management enables operating temperatures as high as 55°C and offers more than 65% in energy savings when compared to traditional technologies like high-intensity discharge (HID) and fluorescents,” he adds.
Eligible for DLC Premium certification at up to 160 lumens per watt (LPW), the LXB Series offers paybacks as low as 1.5 years and qualifies for maximum rebates. With an easy-to-handle form factor, installers can use existing wiring and mounting hardware for quick and simple replacement of existing linear fluorescent and HID high-bay fixtures at mounting heights of up to and greater than 50 feet. Additionally, the LXB Series has a broad product breadth from 12,000 to 60,000 lumens in 4000K or 5000K correlated color temperature (CCT) and is virtually maintenance free.
The new LXB Series is available to order now and is sold through Cree lighting sales channels throughout the USA and Canada.
