TrueWhite LED Meets California Energy Commission LED Bulb Specification

Cree Inc. has released the Cree TW (TrueWhite) Series LED Bulb. The revolutionary bulb emits natural LED light with a Color Rendering Index (CRI) of 93. Cree is the first company to meet the California Energy Commission (CEC) LED bulb specification. The new TW Series bulb looks like a light bulb, lights like a light bulb and gives consumers another reason to switch to LED.

The CA specification focuses on six quality attributes for LED lamps, including color temperature, color consistency, color rendering, dimmability, lifetime and light distribution. The new CA standard requires all retrofit lamps to achieve a CRI of 90 or better; the higher the CRI of a bulb, the more accurate the actual color of the objects it illuminates.

The high-performance bulb uses 78 percent less energy and lasts 25 times longer than typical incandescent light bulbs. The bulbs turn on instantly, are dimmable with most standard incandescent dimmers and are backed by Cree’s 10-year limited warranty.
