Cree and LED lighting are starting a revolution

New Cree LED module may help bring more LED lights to market

Tuesday, April 6th, 2010

It’s not easy to make an LED light. Designers have to consider a lot of factors in their fixture designs including chip selection, LED packaging, color mixing, optics, electronics, thermals, oh my. 

But we’re making it easier for manufacturers to overcome the common design issues they’ve faced when trying to incorporate LED solutions into their lighting fixtures.

Today we announced the launch of Cree LED Module LMR4. This module can make it easier for designers to create LED lights of their own, which means ultimately it can lead to even more energy-efficient LED lights on the market.

More LED lights means it will be easier to help people break their fluorescent shackles and incandescent cuffs. It means there will be even more opportunities to bring energy-efficient, beautiful LED light into homes, offices, businesses and other places that need to be enlightened.

How can this LED lighting module help? Well, since the module contains the LED light, heat sink and driver electronics, designers can just drop this unit into their designs. This helps take some of the burden off of lighting fixture manufacturers that are interested in developing LED lights but just don’t have the experience. This can help speed up the time it takes manufacturers to develop and produce LED lights of their own, which means we can all buy them sooner. Fixture design becomes faster and easier.

And, the big bonus, is that this module produces beautiful, warm white light using Cree TrueWhite™ technology. That means designers who use this module will get access to the same light used in Cree’s fixtures. They won’t have to reinvent the wheel (or the light, as it may be).
