Cree has announced the new AR Series LED Architectural troffer based on Cree TrueWhite® Technology. It delivers soft, high-quality light with exceptional efficacy of 100 lumens per watt. With its flush-mount white housing, the AR Series troffers blend seamlessly into any ceiling design and softly illuminate the space through highly diffused performance optics.

The exceptional performance of the AR Series enables rapid payback by providing 33 percent energy savings versus standard T8 fluorescent solutions and low maintenance costs with its designed lifetime of up to 75,000 hours. Like the CR Series LED troffer, the AR Series is covered by Cree’s industry-leading 10-year limited warranty offering increased investment protection.

The AR Series troffers are available in two models, the AR22™ troffer and AR24™ troffer, and a range of color temperatures to match existing fluorescent technologies (3500 K and 4000 K). The AR Series supports dimming down to 5 percent with industry-standard 0-10-V controls. Lutron EcoSystem® enabled AR Series troffers supporting dimming down to 5 percent are targeted to be available in mid-2013.
