Cree LED luminaires raise the bar
The company says its new luminaire breaks performance and affordability barriers
Cree has introduced the CXB High-Bay LED luminaire, which it says is the first LED fixture designed to compete directly with the 67 million traditional high-bay luminaires currently installed in North America.
Suited for warehouses, industrial, education and other commercial high-bay applications, the CXB High-Bay LED luminaire cuts energy consumption in half and nearly eliminates maintenance costs with its price and performance.
The CXB High-Bay LED luminaire’s innovative design enables a low profile luminaire at half the weight of incumbent technologies.
Offering versatile mounting options for a quick and easy one-for-one replacement of up to 400-watt HID fixtures and multi-lamp fluorescent high bay luminaires, the luminaire simplifies installation and reduces labour costs during its 70,000-hour rated lifetime.
“Cree once again sets a new standard for LED lighting, delivering the most lumens per dollar at half the energy consumption and weight of existing HID luminaires,” says Greg Merritt, Cree vice president, lighting marketing. “The CXB High-Bay LED luminaire provides the industry’s best LED replacement solution for high-bay applications with a low total cost of ownership, all backed by our industry-leading, 10-year limited warranty.”
The Cree CXB High-Bay LED luminaire is sold through Cree lighting sales channels throughout the U.S.

Cree CXB High-Bay luminaire
The Cree CXB High-Bay LED luminaire delivers 23,000 lumens and provides a combination of high performance and affordability, eliminating the need for energy-wasting fluorescent and HID high-bay luminaires.
“We are encouraged by the progress we have made in the most recent quarter,” said Trung Doan, Chairman, President and CEO. “While we are still in the early stages of executing on our strategy, the sequential improvement in gross margin demonstrates the initial impact of our efforts,” concluded Doan.
GAAP gross margin for the first quarter of fiscal 2014 was negative 68 percent, compared with gross margin
