module, Cree has announced the module is now available to lighting manufacturers based in Europe and Asia.
K, 3500 K and 4000 K. Designed for 50,000 hours of operation and dimmable to five percent, the LMH2 comes with a Cree warranty.
The LMH2 is also UL-recognised and complies with multiple international regulatory and safety standards. Luminaire makers seeking ENERGY STAR qualification will have access to specification and performance data, including LM-80 reports, which can speed regulatory approvals.
Cree LMH2 LED module
The LMH2 is designed to speed time-to-market and Cree says it is the only LED module delivering 80 lumens-per-watt system efficacy combined with CRI greater than 90. The modules feature Cree TrueWhite Technology, a revolutionary way to generate white light with LEDs.
“Cree modules let us quickly and easily create high- performance lighting solutions for our customers,” said Miroslav Masar, SSL director, OMS. “The LMH2 delivers the perfect combination of efficacy, colour consistency and cost management.”
The compact, two-piece module gives lighting manufacturers the flexibility needed for rapid LED luminaire design and development. LMH2 also features primary thermal management – potentially eliminating the need for costly secondary thermal management systems.
The LMH2 is designed for many lighting applications, including wall sconces, pendant lights, ceiling fans and many other common luminaires in commercial, retail, museums, residential, hospitality and restaurant environments.
“The LMH2 is designed with the needs of the 230- volt European and Asian lighting markets in mind,” said Mike Watson, Cree senior director marketing, LED components. “One of the major barriers to LED lighting adoption and design remains upfront cost. The new Cree LMH2 modules can reduce initial luminaire cost and accelerate time-to-market for OEMs.”
The LMH2 is available with 90 CRI at 850 and 1250 lumens and in colour temperatures of 2700 K, 3000

Chevron goes green with Cree LEDs
The LED upgrade is estimated to deliver 70 percent in energy savings
Beaverton, Oregon’s Highland Chevron gas station and ExtraMile food market recently underwent extensive eco-renovations.
These include the installation of energy-efficient interior and exterior LED lighting provided by Cree. The addition of Cree LED fixtures supports Highland Chevron’s mission of becoming a zero- energy establishment.
Rebuilt from the ground up, the Highland Chevron store is fully lit with Cree LED luminaires under the exterior canopy and inside the convenience store— delivering energy savings estimated at nearly 70 percent over the old non-LED fixtures.
According to Bob Barman, owner of the Highland Chevron, the indoor and outdoor LED lighting allows the station to consume a third less energy than typical 24-hour c-stores and petroleum stations. Barman estimates that the new Cree luminaires should provide payback in 2.5 years and the financial savings just add-up after that. The Beaverton Chevron anticipates more than a decade of virtually maintenance-free operation.
“The payoff is more than what is saved in energy consumption and cost,” said Barman. “The payoff is also intangible – it’s what your customers think of you as a leader in sustainability and how you think
