Suspended Ambient Luminaire Simplifies Installation and Improves Design Freedom

The first interior LED luminaire to feature WaveMax Technology, the Cree LN Series suspended ambient luminaire combines precise indirect/direct optical control and efficacy in a sleek, architectural suspended luminaire for new and existing commercial building spaces.

Cree Inc. introduces Cree WaveMax Technology, an optical breakthrough that enables next-generation light experiences. Challenging the possibilities of today’s lighting, the waveguide platform features a revolutionary combination of control, uniformity and efficiency to deliver a visual experience in new form factors that are intelligent in design and function.

Featuring Cree DiamondFacet optical elements to achieve up to 90 percent optical efficiency and precise optical control, Cree WaveMax Technology can deliver visual comfort, uniform illumination and improved color quality while enabling design capabilities and energy-saving potential for modern LED luminaires. As a result, high CRI (Color Rendering Index) lighting and warmer color temperatures can be achieved without sacrificing efficacy and enhancing the ability to achieve USGBC LEED certification.

The first interior LED luminaire to feature WaveMax Technology, the Cree LN Series suspended ambient luminaire combines precise indirect/direct optical control and efficacy in a sleek, architectural suspended luminaire for new and existing commercial building spaces. Featuring a modular design to simplify installation and improve design freedom with increased spacing between luminaires, the highly efficient LN Series luminaire enables quiet ceilings for vibrant spaces, at a price aimed to drive adoption. When paired with Cree’s intuitive SmartCast Technology wireless controls, occupants experience intelligent light at an affordable price, creating a customizable lighting environment that can save more than 70 percent in energy costs over outdated linear fluorescent lighting.

Cree also unveils the Cree IG Series LED parking garage luminaire, bringing technology-driven design aesthetics to obsolete the more than four million parking garage luminaires installed in the U.S. Featuring WaveMax Technology for streamlined design and efficacy, the IG Series transforms the look of parking garages with superior low-glare illumination. The highly efficient luminaires can deliver more than 80 percent energy savings and quick payback of less than two years with 24-hour usage compared to outdated metal halide lighting. Programmable motion controls further increase these savings and enable a simple way to customize settings for high- or low-occupancy applications.
