Great Light Has Never Been So “Green”
You’ll never again have to choose between inefficient incandescents and fluorescents that contain mercury. LED lighting is safe, environmentally friendly and contains no toxic mercury.

It is easy being green. Cree lights use 85% less energy than conventional incandescent bulbs and less than half the energy of compact fluorescent lamps. Consuming less energy results in fewer greenhouse gas emissions being released into our environment.

Also, because each Cree light is designed to last for 50,000 or more hours, there is less landfill waste from burned-out incandescent bulbs and no dangerous mercury waste from fluorescents.

With Cree, there is no compromise. You can have safe, affordable, beautiful lighting that makes a positive difference.

• Consumes 85% less energy than incandescents
• Consumes 50% less energy than fluorescents
• No mercury!
• Fewer greenhouse gas emissions

The light output of the 12-watt LR6 is comparable to that of a 65-watt incandescent. Cree lighting provides efficiency and enables consumers to save hundreds of dollars over the life of the light, without compromising beauty or the environment.

Save Energy

“Lights out” on high energy usage. Cree technology uses only 12 watts of power. That’s 85% less energy spent per incandescent light, and 50% less than a CFL.

Save Money

How can one light save hundreds of dollars? On average in the United States, running a 65-watt light for 50,000 hours would cost $325 in electricity alone. Because the LR6 uses only 12 watts, running the light for 50,000 hours will cost only $60 under the same scenario. In addition, you will no longer spend time or money replacing lights.

Over the lifetime of one LR6, you will save $265 dollars or more on your electric bill alone. Imagine the savings if every light in your home was an LR6!

• 12 watts of power per light
• Reduce energy consumption by 50-85%
• Reduce lifecycle costs by up to $900

The longevity of the Cree light is unmatched! Install one LR6 and expect 50,000 hours of light, and eliminate outages and the need to replace and dispose of lamps.

A Generation of Light

What is 50,000 hours? It is 50 times the life of a typical incandescent bulb and 5 times the lifetime of an average compact fluorescent lamp. In fact, if you ran one Cree lamp for 6 hours per day every day, it would last for nearly 23 years. That is five presidential elections, a home remodeling or a full generation. You may never change another light bulb again.

No More Maintenance

We all have at least one bulb that is hard to reach and needs a ladder or a pole to replace it. Fifty times longer life than incandescent bulbs means 50 fewer chances to fall off a ladder. It means reducing the amount of time spent maintaining your home or business.

And when you do change your lights, years and years from now, installing them will be a cinch – they use standard sockets and are designed for ease of use.

What can you do in 50,000 hours of light?

• Plant an acorn. Then rest under the shade of a 20-foot oak tree.
• Have your first child and see him graduate from college.
• Vote in 5 presidential elections.

Gorgeous lighting from LEDs? It’s true – an innovation that illuminates people and surroundings in color-rich light. Experience all the benefits of incandescent lighting, without high energy costs or environmental impact.

Colors Fully Revealed

It’s not your imagination – it’s science. Cree lights do look more natural than CFLs. Cree lights have a higher color rendering, so everything under them looks more vibrant and lifelike.

Choose warm or cool lighting. Warm lighting gives a traditional and luxurious feeling that homeowners have come to expect. Cool lighting creates an effective work environment or brings a contemporary look to a home.

No Hotspots, No Glare

Cree lights are designed to blend seamlessly with any architecture. The proprietary diffusing lens and reflector system deliver an optimal light distribution that softly washes walls and sufficiently illuminates work surfaces. LEDs are not visible, so you won’t be distracted by hotspots or glare. The only thing you’ll experience is life under beautiful, glowing light.

• Cool or warm lighting options
• Richer color than fluorescents
• No visible LEDs
• Dimmable
