Hotel management selected Cree.
The Courtyard Louisville East lobby now features Cree CR6™ LED downlights, with each downlight consuming only 9.5 watts. Cree downlights blend beauty and performance with the same superior light quality as traditional fixtures but at a fraction of the energy used.
The lights lend an improved color quality to the new red and orange furniture, thanks to Cree TrueWhite® Technology. This patented technology delivers high efficiency with beautiful light characteristics and color accuracy, while maintaining color consistency over the life of the product.
In all, 54 Cree CR6 LED downlights replaced 65-watt BR30 light bulbs. At up to 64 lumens per watt, the CR6 has the highest luminaire efficacy of any residential ENERGY STAR® qualified downlight.
Fifteen Cree LBR-30™ LED lamps, which use only 12 watts, went into the lobby, replacing 65-watt BR30s. Also powered by Cree TrueWhite® Technology, Cree lamps provide an unrivaled combination of 92+ CRI and up to 74 lumens per watt efficacy.
Using this new technology, Cree’s LBR-30 delivers light with beautiful, warm color characteristics by mixing the light from red and yellow LEDs, while their high efficacy and longevity significantly reduce both energy and maintenance costs.
Additionally, an administrative office received a lighting upgrade with two Cree LR24™ LED troffers, and two CR24™ troffers were placed in the fitness room. The LR24 luminaire is a revolutionary architectural layin designed for applications that require high-ambient light levels, and the CR24 troffer delivers up to 5,000 lumens of exceptional 90-plus CRI light while achieving 90 to 110 lumens per watt.
Cree architectural troffers demonstrate technical ingenuity at its finest, delivering a superior mix of performance and payback with unmatched longevity and color consistency, all backed by an industry-best fixture warranty.
