Cree, Inc. has introduced THE EDGE® High Output area and flood light LED luminaires. Cree says that the luminaires are capable of replacing high output sources of the past such as 1000 watt metal halide. They also use 50 percent less energy in most applications. The new luminaires feature more than 20 optical configurations. Among them is a new FrontlineOptic™ technology designed specifically for auto dealerships. THE EDGE H.O. luminaire delivers bright and focused light to applications seeking a high output solution.

“Buying a car is a visual experience and quality lighting has an immediate positive impact on the retail shopping experience,” said Mike Lallier, president and owner, Reed Lallier Chevrolet. “Cree designed THE EDGE High Output luminaire to meet the specific needs of auto dealerships. The revolutionary solution provides superior color quality that allows us to effectively extend our selling window after dark. The advanced optical control of THE EDGE H.O. luminaire delivers light precisely where it’s needed to always showcase our inventory in the best possible light.”

The company claims that THE EDGE HO luminaire offers an LED solution with a much broader and fuller color spectrum that more closely resembles the output from the sun and provides more realistic and distinctive color renderings that can enhance safety and contribute to a more consistent visual experience.
