Lutron Electronics, the industry leader in smart, scalable lighting control solutions, and Cree Lighting, a global market leader in innovative LED lighting solutions, are teaming up to introduce a variety of new connected lighting products to the market: Cree Lighting indoor and outdoor fixtures…
Lutron controls are being included in a number of Cree Lighting products:
• Cree Lighting's architectural Stylus Linear Series will be enabled with
Lutron Vive wireless integral fixture control. Vive, Lutron's simple and
scalable wireless lighting control solution, offers customers flexibility,
ease of installation, and code compliance. The Stylus portfolio will also
be available with Lutron EcoSystem digital LED drivers for wired
specifications. In addition to digital fixture addressability for enhanced
connectivity options, EcoSystem delivers smooth and consistent dimming
across all zones and fixtures, and immunity to poor power quality and
line noise.
• Limelight, Lutron's wireless lighting control solution for outdoor facilities,
is being added to Cree Lighting's industry leading IG Series fixtures with
WaveMax Technology for superior lighting in parking garages.
• Cree Lighting's ZR Series LED troffers will be available with both
Lutron EcoSystem wired digital LED drivers, and Vive wireless integral
fixture controls, providing all the Lutron EcoSystem and Vive benefits with
the better lighting quality and value offered by the Cree Lighting
ZR Series products.
• Cree Lighting's specifier grade KR Series downlights and CR Series
troffers already offer Lutron EcoSystem technology options.
"We're pleased to add Lutron's technology to more Cree Lighting fixtures, helping customers to effortlessly realize the simplicity, flexibility, and capabilities of smart LED fixtures," said Matthew Ochs, Senior Director, Mid-Market Commercial Business for Lutron. "Lutron and Cree Lighting have long been dedicated to high-quality, innovative products, and this collaboration utilizes both companies leading technologies to deliver some of the best-connected luminaires in the lighting industry, whether wired, wireless, indoor, outdoor, new construction or building retrofit."

"By adding Lutron technology options, we're further ensuring customers get the very best match for their project needs from the industry's leading controls company."
The Lutron-enabled Stylus Linear Series, IG Series parking garage, ZR Series basket and retrofit troffers are available for specifying now, and first of the new products will begin shipping in April.
