High-Output, Low-Efficacy Flood LED
The OSQ Series by Cree Inc. has increased the efficiency performance of its latest area and flood LED luminaires by 58 percent from the previous generation. Housed in cast aluminum with a weather-tight LED driver, the luminaires have a 100,000-hour lifetime. In order to meet the demand for cleaner and more efficient energy resources, Cree has added a 28L outdoor area and flood light to its OSQ Series. The 28L delivers up to 28,285 lumens, offering better light and increased energy savings. Energy usage can further be reduced by 80 percent when updating the outdated HID fixtures up to 1000W.
