Cree Updates LMH2 LED Module with up to 4000 Lumen to Obsolete 70-Watt Ceramic Metal Halide Lamps

“The new 4000-lumen LMH2 LED Module is an ideal LED light source to replace 70-W 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. Working with Cree gives us a significant performance advantage over our competitors.”

The aesthetically pleasing LMH2 LED module lets lighting manufacturers quickly and easily add LED options to their existing lighting portfolio — addressing different applications with lumen levels ranging from 650 to 4000 lumens with just one set of tooling and one optical design.

“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.”

The new module family delivers up to 108 lumens-per-watt system efficacy with a CRI greater than 90 in all available color temperatures. The high-performance LMH2 module family enables manufacturers to leverage one product platform to create an entire product portfolio — delivering the investment protection necessary to quickly and cost effectively address more lighting applications.

“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.”

The LMH2 module family is available in a range of lumen (850, 1250, 2000, 3000, and 4000), color temperatures (2700 K, 3000 K, 3500 K and 4000 K) and driver options, including digital-addressable lighting interface (DALI) and DALI® touch-dimming driver options, enabling lighting manufacturers to expand their portfolio quickly and easily. Designed for 50,000 hours of operation and dimmable to five percent, the LMH2 module comes with Cree’s industry-leading five-year warranty. Luminaire makers seeking ENERGY STAR® qualification will have access to specification and performance data, including LM-80 reports, which can speed regulatory approvals.

Samples and production quantities are available with standard lead times from Cree distributors. Please visit www.cree.com/lmh2 for additional information on the new Cree® LMH2 LED module.
