5 Reasons why you should light your hotel, motel or restaurant with Cree LED Lighting

Monday, November 14th, 2011

Today’s guest blog post is by Mark Wanless, Cree’s national accounts sales director, who is holding down our booth this week at the International Hotel, Motel and Restaurant Show!

One of the easiest ways for hotels, motels and restaurants to cut their energy costs is to upgrade to energy-efficient LED lighting.

We’ll be at the International Hotel, Motel and Restaurant Show at the Javits Center in New York City Sunday through Tuesday talking about the benefits of LED lighting. But we know not everyone will have a chance to say hi to me, Jay, Jennifer at Cree booth #2676, so I’ve compiled some key things you need to know about Cree LED lighting.

1)      Cree LED Lights Can Cut Energy Costs. If your business is still shining incandescent downlights or Halogen track lighting, you’re just burning up money.  Most of the energy emitted from incandescent bulbs (yes, Halogen bulbs are considered an incandescent light source) is converted to heat instead of light. That’s why you’ll burn yourself if you try to touch a traditional light bulb.

When the Hampton Inn-Biltmore Square in Asheville, NC, replaced its incandescent and fluorescent lighting with approximately 680 Cree LR6 LED downlights, it saved more than 300,000 kilowatts, almost half of the original lighting output, according to an analysis of the hotel’s electric bills prior to and after the renovation.

2)      Cree LED Lights Are Designed for Really Long Lifetimes. What if you could go years without having to replace a burned out light in your lobby or dining room? Most of Cree’s LED lights are designed to last 50,000 hours. That means you could leave them on 24 hours a day, seven days a week and they could last more than five years!  Plus Cree’s LED lights use less energy and can last even longer when they are dimmed!

At the Hilton Garden Inn Nashville/Smyrna (pictured below) a total of 134 65-watt incandescent lights in the lobby were replaced with 134 10.5-watt Cree CR6 LED downlights. Those LED lights are designed to last 50,000 hours and feature a 5-year warranty, which means the hotel maintenance crew could go nearly six years without having to replace a light!

3)      Cree LED Lights Are Dimmable. If you want to offer your guests mood lighting while they network over cocktails at the hotel bar or enjoy a romantic dinner in the restaurant dining room, dimming is key. Most of Cree’s LED lights, including our downlights and lamps, are dimmable to 5 percent. That means you can easily change the mood in a room depending on the time of day. Ever try to dim a CFL downlight? I bet it didn’t help improve the mood.

At the Courtyard by Marriott Louisville East (pictured below), hotel staff frequently dim the Cree LED lobby lighting in the evening, improving the night time atmosphere and saving even more energy.

4)      Cree LED Lights Can Cut Maintenance. Don’t believe all the light bulb jokes out there. Changing a light can be tricky if you’re running a motel or restaurant. Often you have to wait until there’s a lull in business to break out a ladder, or a lift, to change a bulb. We’ve heard stories of hotel bringing in a crew with a scissor lift in the wee hours of the morning, when lobby traffic was low, to change hard-to-reach bulbs. That’s too much trouble to have to go through on a regular basis, not to mention expensive. With long-lasting LED lights, you can cut back on lighting maintenance, freeing up your employees to focus on other more pressing tasks.

The maintenance and energy savings delivered by the Cree LED lights at several Denny’s restaurants in Colorado were so impressive that owner Pete LaBarre decided to install them outside the perimeter of the restaurants too.

5)      Cree LED Lighting is Beautiful. At Cree, we believe you shouldn’t have to choose between color quality and energy-efficient lighting. You deserve both. That’s why we invented Cree TrueWhite™ Technology, which is our patented approach to generating white light with LEDs. By mixing the light from red and unsaturated yellow LEDs, we’re able to create attractive, warm, white light that you’re used to getting with incandescent lighting.

The warm lighting is one of the reasons Denny’s Corporation chose Cree LED lights as the preferred lighting standard for all its new and remodeled stores across the United States, according to Mitch Riese, Denny’s corporate architect, senior manager of design & construction.

To learn more about LED lighting, you can contact a Cree LED lighting distributor in your area. Or if you’re going to be at the International Hotel, Motel and Restaurant Show, come meet us at booth #2676. You can even ask for me, I’m Mark!

Cree LRP-38 LED light is a smart fit for illuminating museums, grocery and retail stores and more

Friday, August 26th, 2011


It’s an electrifying time to be engaged in the lighting industry. The world is more focused than ever before on energy efficiency. And innovations in lighting are happening faster than ever before, with LED lighting emerging as the most efficient way to replace traditional lighting.

The LED Lighting Revolution is gaining momentum, and as with any new technology, education plays an important role in moving this forward. And part of that education requires LED lighting manufacturers to do their part to provide accurate information about their products.

That’s why we wanted to take a moment to talk about the beauty that is the Cree LRP-38 LED lamp. We believe it’s a smart fit for anyone looking to use directional lighting to illuminate places like museums, grocery and retail stores and more.

So when we read lighting designer Kevan Shaw’s guest post in this month’s MondoArc magazine, which questions whether LED lighting is the best solution for illuminating precious works of art in museums, we had to pause. That’s because we believe Cree LED lighting can absolutely be a good match for museums. In fact, it’s already featured in several museums, including the Liberty Science Center and recently the Metropolitan Museum of Art (more to come on that soon).

liberty science center

Cree LRP-38 LED lights illuminate the Liberty Science Center in New Jersey.

And while Shaw certainly doesn’t rule out using LED lighting in museums (he wisely suggests that lighting designers do a cost-benefit analysis before committing), he also makes some sweeping statements about quality of light, color and maintenance—some of which aren’t exactly fair.

No doubt the quality and control of light that comes from a Low Voltage Halogen IR lamp is excellent for museum exhibitions. And if LVHIR didn’t have infrared, ultraviolent, heat and lifetime issues as compared to LED lighting, we wouldn’t be enthusiastically shopping our LED lights to museums. Unfortunately, there are still plenty of LED products on the market misleading design professionals on what is possible today with LED.

Among Shaw’s concerns:

“The thing I find most difficult to deal with is the constant change. We know this should be offering benefits over time, however it makes things difficult if you want to add or change lighting. If each time you want to add fittings they will have subtly different performance characteristics, how do you achieve a consistency in display? What is worse is that even if you have an open cheque book and buy as many fittings as you would ever want at the beginning of a project, LEDs change in output and colour appearance throughout their lives so a new fitting from your original stock will look different to fittings bought at the same time but that have been running for a couple of years.”

We’re definitely sensitive to that, and certainly his concerns apply to plenty of LED lighting products on the market. However, when people get their hands on an LRP-38 LED light for the first time, many see a side of LED lighting they are not used to. That’s because our lamp features Cree TrueWhite™ Technology, a revolutionary way to generate white light with LEDs that maintains color consistency throughout the life of the lamp. Starting with the highest performing LEDs, Cree TrueWhite Technology mixes the light from red and unsaturated yellow LEDs to create beautiful, warm, white light. Our patented approach enables color management to preserve high color consistency over the life of the product.  So if a museum wants to add more Cree lighting a couple years after its initial install, it should find that the color on its original Cree LRP-38 lights has not shifted.

cree lrp-38

The LRP-38 also features 94 CRI, exceeds 50 lumens per watt and has beautiful 2700K warm color, and it’s designed to last 50,000 hours. It’s also dimmable to 20 percent. And, a bonus that museums may relish is that the LRP-38 produces little heat and emits virtually no ultraviolet rays, which can help protect those priceless objects the lights are shining on.  The LRP-38 may not solve every lighting challenge, but we believe it truly demonstrates the power of LED lighting.

We applaud Shaw for starting a conversation on this topic, as a healthy dose of skepticism among lighting designers can help keep low-quality lighting products with false promises from being installed. It’s wise to be skeptical of claims by LED lighting manufacturers because inferior products are making their way into the market. However, we hope that Cree’s innovations and commitment to LED lighting leaves lighting designers excited about joining the LED lighting Revolution.

Benjamin Moore Paint Store Gets Cree LED Lighting Makeover

Friday, August 12th, 2011


In a paint store, color is everything. But it’s hard to make color samples stand out when exposed T-12 fluorescent tubes are lighting the way.

At the Benjamin Moore paint store in Staunton, Virginia, store owner Lesley Merritt was used to dealing with the store’s outdated lighting. When a fluorescent tube began flickering or burned out, she would guide customers to another spot in the store so they could inspect color samples in better lighting.  

But she doesn’t have to do that anymore thanks to the recently installed Cree LED lighting. Lesley replaced 28 T-12 fluorescent tubes with 18 long-lasting Cree CR24 LED Troffers. The troffers feature Cree TrueWhite Technology®, which is Cree’s patented technology that delivers highly-efficient light with high color accuracy, while maintaining color consistency over the life of the product. 

“Although we sell paint, color is essentially what we sell. So for colors to look more accurate and more vibrant here in the store is very helpful,” Lesley said.

Not only is the light quality improved, but the store is reducing its energy consumption, as well as the time and money it spends on lighting maintenance. By replacing 28 T-12 fluorescent tubes with 18 Cree CR24 LED troffers, the store is reducing its lighting energy consumption from 2,240 watts down to 792 watts.

AfterA

The CR24 LED troffer is designed to last a minimum of 50,000 hours. That means the store could leave the lights on for eight hours a day, seven days a week for more than 17 years without having to replace.

“In the past six years, all of the fluorescent tubes have been replaced at least once,” Lesley said. “Some have been replaced more frequently due to flickering and poor color quality. Usually we dealt with the flickering and the colors not matching for a long time before we would decide we were going to pay somebody to change the bulbs. I’m really looking forward to the new Cree LED lights not needing to be changed for a long time.”

After: 18 Cree CR24 LED troffers line the ceiling

There’s another perk to the new LED lights too: Lesley can’t hear them. The first day Lesley flipped the switch on the LED lights she said she couldn’t believe how quiet the store was compared to the constant hum of the fluorescent tubes.

Denny’s restaurants begin lighting up with Cree LED lights

Friday, January 14th, 2011

I feel like I can always count on Denny’s. If I’m hungry for breakfast after sleeping in on the weekend, Denny’s serves it all the time. If I’m craving a late-night meal after a night out on the town, Denny’s is still open. It’s such a recognizable restaurant chain, and that’s one of the reasons we’re fired up that the chain has adopted our LED lighting as its preferred lighting standard for all its new and remodeled stores across the United States.

 So when new Denny’s restaurants are built or older ones are up for remodeling, owners will turn to Cree LR6 LED downlights instead of incandescent, fluorescent or any other kind of LED lights.

Denver Dennys 3 (main 2)

Cree LR6 LED downlights line the ceilings of this Colorado Denny's.

Our LR6 LED downlight is just that. It’s one of those lights you would screw into a recessed can lighting fixture. These fixtures are common in restaurants, retail shops and even newer homes. Start looking up when you’re out dining or shopping and you won’t believe how many dot the ceilings.

Denny’s corporate architect Mitch Riese says our fixture was chosen because of the quality of light it delivers (the last thing any restaurant needs is bad lighting), its long life (it’s designed to last 50,000 hours) and its energy savings (each light consumes only 10.5 Watts).

“We evaluated numerous LED light fixtures from a variety of manufacturers to ensure that we chose the best possible product and partner for this major lighting specification,” explained Riese, corporate architect and senior manager of design & construction for Denny’s. “With the Cree LR6 fixture, we found the best value for our money, helping us deliver beautiful, warm light, while significantly reducing our energy consumption and maintenance requirements.”

One of the believers is Denny’s franchise owner Pete LaBarre. When I first spoke with him a year ago, he had installed 340 Cree LR6 LED lights in four of the restaurants he owns in the Colorado Springs, Colorado area. When we checked back in with him recently he had installed more than 400 of the lights in the dining rooms of his five restaurants. He says his six-inch LED downlights are saving him around $15,500 per year in energy costs alone and that he has seen a payback of between 20 to 24 months, (depending on the electricity provider for each of his restaurants).

Cree LED lights line the ceiling in one of the Denny's restaurants Pete owns.

And he’s not stopping there, Pete has decided to replace 500 fluorescent bulbs and tubes with 200 Cree LR6 fixtures, illuminating the perimeter of each restaurant.

“Our lights stay on all the time, so we did a watt comparison of what we had in place before the LR6 downlights,” LaBarre said. “We found that we used 6,000 kilowatt hours less per month in the store that had the Cree fixtures versus the store that had the fluorescent lighting,” he said.

It’s cool to see quality LED lighting is making its way into more restaurants. It just goes to show that LED lighting is ready and that energy-wasting incandescent lights are best used in restaurants for one purpose – as heat lamps keeping your food warm.

Furniture store employees can stop changing light bulbs thanks to new Cree LED lights

Tuesday, October 12th, 2010


If you took a job in the furniture business, chances are you wouldn’t expect changing light bulbs to be part of your daily routine. But for some employees at the 330 specialty furniture stores owned by the Furniture Row Companies, changing light bulbs became second nature.

That’s because many of the stores were lit with energy-wasting 90-Watt halogen bulbs. In fact, Furniture Row officials estimate that employees spent about 15 hours per week replacing burned out halogen bulbs.

At the Sofa Mart in Yuma, Arizona (one of the specialty stores owned by Furniture Row), store manager Stu Cozzens says employees changed out about 20 bulbs each month. But he’s hoping that will be a task of the past thanks to the newly-installed Cree LRP-38™ LED spotlights that shine on his store.

Cree LRP-38 LED spotlights were installed at the Sofa Mart in Yuma, Arizona.

“We are hoping that number will be reduced greatly with the new bulbs,” Stu told me.

LED Lights are Long Lasting

That shouldn’t be hard. The LRP-38 LED light is designed to last 50,000 hours in open applications like this. That means Stu could leave these lights on in his store for eight hours a day, seven days a week and could go more than 17 years before he would have to replace them. There are 250 LRP-38 LED lights illuminating the showroom that Stu manages.

In fact, the Furniture Row Companies is in the process of converting all of its 330 Sofa Mart®, Oak Express®, Bedroom Expressions® and Denver Mattress Company® specialty furniture stores to Cree LED Lighting. Last month we announced that nearly 13,000 Cree LRP-38 LED lights were installed out of more than 80,000 planned. In most cases, the 11-Watt Cree LED lights are replacing inefficient 90-Watt halogen bulbs.

“We knew we wanted new lighting that addressed our goal of being environmental stewards, but we also wanted to remain fiscally responsible,” Rod Schnurr, Furniture Row store planning coordinator, said in a recent press release. “We also knew that we couldn’t sacrifice the high quality of light needed to accentuate the wood grains and highlight the beauty of the fabrics – that’s what these Cree lights do.”

Ladders and Bulb Replacement

We sent a photographer out to Sofa Mart in Yuma, and when I saw the height of the tracks the lights live on, I understood the hassle.

Can you imagine climbing a ladder to change bulbs up this high?

Can you imagine climbing a ladder to change bulbs up this high?

Replacing those bulbs means dragging out a tall ladder and climbing up it. Suddenly I was able to see why Furniture Row employees spent an estimated 15 hours per week replacing bulbs throughout the 330 locations. This isn’t like replacing a bulb over your bathroom sink, this requires actual labor.

The long life of the Cree LED lights isn’t the only perk Furniture Row should experience. These LED lights also consume significantly less energy than halogen lights while providing high quality light. The first Furniture Row Shopping Center to install Cree LED lights saved $4,200 on monthly energy costs compared to the original lighting, Schnurr said. Another bonus? The LRP-38 LED spotlights generate less heat, which can result in savings on air conditioning costs.

So the next time you’re out shopping and you see an employee on a ladder changing a light bulb, maybe you should kindly tell their manager about long-lasting LED lights. And if you are a manager or a store owner, what are you waiting for? Give LED lights a try so your employees can spend more time doing their jobs and less time screwing in light bulbs.

How can grocers make their fruits and veggies pop? Hint: It involves LED lights

Thursday, August 12th, 2010

The ladders at a Michigan-based grocery chain are being used a lot less these days now that the produce sections are lit with Cree LED lights.

Up until a few months ago, employees at the three Value Center Marketplace stores used to haul out the ladder every couple of weeks to replace the burned out 90-Watt Par 38 spotlights that lit up the fruits and veggies, according to store owner Ron Fariada.

But earlier this summer, Ron replaced the energy-wasting incandescent lights in the produce sections at all three of his stores with energy-efficient Cree LRP-38™ LED lights. His new LED lights consume only 11 Watts of energy and provide beautiful, warm light that helps make the color of the store’s fruits and vegetables pop.

_MG_0673

“It’s just worry free,” Ron said. “I’m not going to have to worry about changing any bulbs for years. There was an upfront cost, but you’ve got immediate savings as far as power.”

When Ron opened the first Value Center Marketplace in 1989, he was committed to offering the freshest quality foods and the best in family value. More than 20 years later, Ron now runs three of the grocers just outside Detroit, Michigan.

In all, he replaced 50 incandescent lights at each of stores with Cree LRP-38 lights, for a total of 150 LED lights.

_MG_0693

Ron said he expects a two-year payback on his LED lights when he takes into account the energy savings and maintenance savings. The produce lights in his stores are on for about 12 hours a day, seven days a week. And since the LRP-38 LED lights are designed to last 50,000 hours, Ron could continue to save energy and money for another nine years before he needs to consider replacing the lights.

_MG_0627

Already he’s noticed that when he walks under his new LED lights, the area feels cooler than when the 90 Watt incandescent spotlights were lighting up the area.  Ron said he also expects to see HVAC savings.

The produce at Ron’s stores is hand-picked daily from the local farmers market. And now, it can truly shine under LED lights.

Happy anniversary to the first LEED-certified McDonald’s in North Carolina

Thursday, July 15th, 2010

Four years ago, Ric Richards had to decide what to do with an aging McDonald’s franchise he just purchased in Cary, NC. The 25-year-old building was going to need “serious reinvestment,” he said, requiring major renovations to the front of the restaurant and drive-thru.

So Ric decided to do something he dreamed of ever since stepping foot in the first green McDonad’s in Savannah, Ga. He decided he was going to tear down the old McDonald’s and go for the gold. Ric wanted to achieve a gold LEED certification from the U.S. Green Building Council.

Mcdonalds Old Cary

Here's what the Cary McDonald's looked like before it was rebuilt.

“This was going to be the right thing to do,” Ric told me when I interviewed him last year about his decision.

Today marks the one-year anniversary of Ric’s dream coming true. The green McDonald’s in Cary’s Saltbox Village shopping center opened its doors one year ago today, and Ric and his crew are inviting the public to celebrate from 4 to 7 p.m. (for those readers who live in the area).

Once the decision was made to demolish the old McDonalds, 99 percent of the building materials were recycled. Then, a variety of sustainable goods – from tables made of bamboo and sunflower seeds to denim insulation – were used in the reconstruction. And, of course, we were thrilled when Ric decided to light the restaurant, inside and out, with LED lights.

Here's what it looks like today.

Here's what it looks like today.

In fact, 95 percent of the restaurant is lit with energy-saving LED lights. Nearly all of the general illumination inside the McDonald’s comes from Cree LED lights. And the LED lights in his store consume 78 percent less electricity compared to a standard lighting package at other McDonald’s restaurants.

We’re proud of Ric’s accomplishment and thrilled that his new energy-efficient lights helped him achieve his dream. Now would someone please bring me some chicken McNuggets? I hear they look better under LED lights.

Vintage light bulbs may be trendy for restaurants, but LED lights are a better option

Tuesday, June 8th, 2010

A restaurant with bad lighting is a bummer. Bad lighting can kill the mood and even make food look discolored. Customers can leave unimpressed. Owners could be stuck with expensive electric bills and a restaurant that has a bad lighting reputation.

So I wasn’t surprised to read this article in the New York Times, which declares that “a lot of thought and expense go into restaurant lighting,” particularly at upscale restaurants.

But what I was surprised to read is that some restaurant owners in New York City are harkening back to  Thomas Edison’s heyday and installing antique-looking, energy-wasting reproductions of Edison’s first light bulb.

There is no excuse for this. And believe me, I’m all about beautiful design and I even support being trendy from time-to-time.

Sure, these retro-looking filament-filled lights have a charming appearance, but they consume more energy than standard incandescent light bulbs. And since restaurants leave their lights running for many hours a day, those vintage-looking bulbs are sucking a lot of energy and driving up utility bills. Not to mention putting out enough collective heat to have a real impact on air conditioning needs!

Restaurant owners who are serving up these Edison reproductions say the lights are a bit nostalgic and the warm light is flattering.  To that I say: Perhaps you need a more creative lighting designer. Have they seen some of the unique lighting designs that incorporate LEDs?

On a regular basis, the green design blog Inhabitat posts some of the most incredible energy-efficient LED lighting designs your imagination could conjure up. Among them are:

I mean seriously, if designers can create LED lights out of soap, imagine what they could do for an upscale restaurant in New York City?

These beautiful glass pendant lights are lit with energy-efficient Cree LEDs.

Sure, creating a custom LED light fixture for a restaurant might not be as cheap as buying an incandescent bulb. But the energy and maintenance savings from LED lights can quickly add up. And perhaps these restaurants will attract even more diners who are wooed by both beautiful lighting AND energy-efficiency. With LED lights, you can have both.

North Carolina’s first green McDonald’s uses LED Lights (and cotton, bamboo, recycled glass and more)

Tuesday, January 5th, 2010

Take a quick look at one McDonald’s in Cary, NC, and you might not guess that it’s different than every other McDonald’s in North Carolina. But step inside and you’ll see why this McDonald’s in the Saltbox Village shopping center is making history.

The restaurant is the first green McDonald’s in the state, on track to receive its LEED certification from the U.S. Green Building Council later this month. (Take a look at the 25+ year-old McDonald’s v. the new one. Approximately 99 percent of the debris generated by the demolition process was diverted from landfills by either being reused or recycled).

CaryMcDonaldsOldNewCaryMcdonalds

I recently visited the restaurant to chat with franchise owner Ric Richards about why he chose LED lights to light up 97 percent of the store. Turns out the LED lights in his store consume 78 percent less electricity compared to a standard lighting package at other McDonald’s restaurants.

The restaurant was designed to take advantage of natural light and uses a fully automated, intelligent lighting-control system that combines light from Cree LED lighting and daylighting from Solatube skylights. There’s even a photo sensor to maintain the proper light levels on work surfaces. So, if it’s rainy and overcast outside, the LED light levels are increased to compensate. And since the system is automated, it’s not up to an employee to notice the changing light levels and fool around with the switches. How cool is that?!

Of course, there are many other neat steps taken to use green technologies, and there’s even a touchscreen video kiosk at the front of the store that shows off some of technologies. Here’s a video featuring some of the neat building materials used in construction and my interview with Ric about the energy-efficient LED lights:

Stay tuned, we’ll be updating you soon on the official LEED certification of Ric’s franchise.

Furniture Row replaces Halogen lamps with LED lights

Wednesday, December 23rd, 2009

The LED Revolution is happening all around the country. We’ve been sharing some great examples of the forefathers of the revolution here.

I think it’s important that we show off some of the places where you can find LED lighting so you can see that it’s truly happening.  So take a look at this LED lighting installation at Furniture Row in Denver, Colorado.

One of our lighting guys took a flip cam with him and interviewed a store manager about the lights. I love this video because you can tell the manager is sincerely pleased with the energy savings he expects his LED lights.

Take a look:
