Cree Introduces New 90+ CRI LMH2 LED Module Family with Up to 4000 Lumen Output

Cree has introduced the new 4000 lumen LMH2. According to Cree, the module is designed to replace 70-watt Ceramic Metal Halide (CMH) lamps while consuming half the power and lasting three times longer.“The new 4000 lumen LMH2 LED Module is an ideal LED light source to replace 70W ceramic metal halide in many lighting applications,” said Quinten van de Vrie, director, LEDs Progress. “We can provide our customers the same light quality and brightness required for their spaces using just half the power of our competitors still using CMH.”

Cree says that the LMH2 LED module lets lighting manufacturers quickly and easily add LED options to their existing lighting portfolio. The module can reportedly address different applications with lumen levels ranging from 650 to 4000 lumens with just one set of tooling and one optical design. The new module family provides up to 108 lumens-per-watt system efficacy with a CRI greater than 90 in all available color temperatures.

The LMH2 module family is available with a range of lumen (850, 1250, 2000, 3000, and 4000), color temperatures (2700K, 3000K, 3500K and 4000K) and driver options, including Digital Addressable Lighting Interface (DALI) and DALI® touch dimming driver options. Cree says this enables lighting manufacturers to expand their portfolio quickly and easily. The module is designed for 50,000 hours of operation and dimmable to five percent. The LMH2 module comes with Cree’s five-year warranty.

“The new LMH2 LED module allows us to quickly expand our line of LED lighting without making any changes to the beautiful vintage housing that we’re known for,” said Bryan Scott, owner, Barn Light Electric. “Cree’s 4000 lumens LMH2 LED module will allow us to replace ceramic metal halide and CFL, which our commercial customers are requesting. Now customers that want to light big spaces with high ceilings have brighter options of the same beautiful, energy-efficient light in the style and charm of vintage-style barn light fixtures.”

“We are excited that Cree is expanding the LMH2 LED Module family because they provide LED lighting solutions with low design risk,” said Mike Wang, vice president, lighting engineering, Edison Price Lighting. “The LMH2 LED module delivers all the best features of lighting technology - light output, efficacy, quality of light and long lifetime - in a stable format. We know we’re getting the best of Cree’s technology, allowing us to focus on the luminaire design.”
