LR6 from Cree – The first viable LED downlight for commercial and residential applications.

World-Changing Technology

The LR6 is an amazing combination of technical innovations, including breakthroughs in optical design, electronics design, mechanical design, and thermal management. The core of the innovation is a new way to generate white light with LEDs.

A Better Way to Generate White Light

The technology is elegantly simple, yet incredibly effective. It delivers high efficacy light with beautiful, warm color characteristics by mixing the light from yellow and red LEDs. This approach enables active color management that maintains tight color consistency over the life of the product.

Effective Thermal Management

Ensuring the long life of an LED product depends on effectively controlling the operating temperature of the LEDs. The LR6 was designed to utilize all components to effectively transfer heat and keep the maximum LED temperature at or below acceptable levels- even its worst-case environment.
