TECHNOLOGY
Cree TrueWhite® Technology
Powered by Cree TrueWhite® Technology, the AR Series delivers an exclusive
combination of 90 CRI and lifetime color consistency. Our quality advantage begins
by mixing the light from Cree® red and unsaturated yellow LEDs, among the highestperforming and most efficient LEDs on the market. Once built, every AR Series LED
architectural troffer is then precisely color-tuned for the utmost consistency.
The result is beautiful white light with superior color accuracy using significantly
less power—a true no-compromise solution for applications where energy savings
and light quality are equally important—applications like commercial offices,
healthcare, education, and more. With Cree TrueWhite® Technology, building
owners and occupants alike can enjoy the benefits of highly-efficient, visually
appealing lighting.
Innovative Optical Design
The AR Series troffers blend seamlessly into any ceiling design to softly illuminate
the space through highly-diffused performance optics to provide an even distribution
of light. The AR Series troffer’s architectural design provides options in applications
where look and performance go hand in hand.
Exceptional Lighting Experience.
Cree continues to improve the lighting experience with enhancements that take into account
mechanical design, LED placement and the reflective qualities of the fixture enabled by the
optimized channel reflector and fully-luminous lens design. The AR Series offers an exceptional
lighting experience consisting of perfectly blended white light and remarkable uniformity while
still reducing the total cost of ownership.
THE RESULT:
Luminance at its Best.
