LMH2 modules deliver 82 lumens-per-watt system efficacy combined with 90+ CRI in colour temperatures of 2700 K, 3000 K, 3500 K and 4000 K. The module is available with Digital Addressable Lighting Interface (DALI) and DALI touch dimming. Designed for 50,000 hours of operation and dimmable to five percent, the LMH2 comes with Cree’s industry-leading warranty.
Luminaire makers seeking ENERGY STAR qualification will have access to specification and performance data, including LM-80 reports, which can speed regulatory approvals

Light source using Cree LMH2 module
The LED lighting innovator says they deliver better performance, longer lifetime and lower system cost than comparable compact fluorescents in commercial lighting. The LMH2 module family now enables a wider range of lighting applications within a compact, cost-effective design.
The LMH2 is claimed to be industry’s only LED module family delivering 82 lumens-per-watt system efficacy combined with a CRI greater than 90 in all available colour temperatures. The LMH2 LED features Cree TrueWhite Technology, a revolutionary way to generate white light with LEDs.
Cree TrueWhite Technology delivers high efficiency with beautiful light characteristics, while maintaining colour consistency over the rated lifetime of the product. The LMH2 module family is available in a range of lumen, colour temperature and driver options, enabling lighting manufacturers to meet their needs quickly and easily.
“With its high lumen output and superior combination of high efficacy and high CRI, the new Cree LMH2 LED module enables us to address the commercial lighting market,” says Antonio Di Gangi, General Manager of DGA. “The compact, two-piece design of the LMH2 gives us the flexibility needed for rapid LED luminaire design and development.”
The LMH2 module separates the light source and power supply to enable a wide selection of mounting and wiring options – giving lighting manufacturers the flexibility needed for rapid LED luminaire design and development. LMH2 modules also feature primary thermal management – potentially eliminating the need for costly secondary thermal management systems.
“The LMH2 LED module family now obsoletes the need to even consider compact fluorescent alternatives,” says Mike Watson, Cree senior director marketing, LED components. “Not only does the family of LMH2 LED modules outperform this traditional lighting technology, but it does so across a wide range of colour and lumen options with unparalleled colour quality, efficacy and warranty, enabling lighting manufacturers to address an entire range of lighting applications.”

The Big Chip nitride LED manufacturer is now qualified in ISO 14001:2004 and OHSAS 18001:2007 Luminus Devices, the manufacturer of Big Chip LEDs, has announced two important certifications for its Massachusetts facilities.
ISO 14001:2004 recognises the company’s ability to meet rigorous international criteria in the management of environmental and sustainability processes. OHSAS 18001:2007 is awarded to companies meeting occupational health and safety management system specifications.
The company is also ISO 9001:2008 certified for quality management processes and has recently been accredited to the ISO 17025:2005 laboratory standard.
“Our team has worked hard to become a great company, in addition to manufacturing some of the most unique and energy-efficient LEDs in the world. We are equally proud that this is a healthy and safe place to work,” says Keith T.S. Ward, President and CEO of Luminus.
“I believe these new certifications, integrated into our quality management systems, demonstrate with clarity to customers that they will receive superior, innovative products made by people from a company dedicated to global professional standards as well as the environment.”
Luminus currently holds more than 144 patents and patents pending for its Big Chip LEDs.
Furthering its green initiative, the company also announced recently that 100% of the electricity at its Woburn, Massachusetts manufacturing facility is being purchased with Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs.) The Luminus RECs will help the nation avoid emission of 946 metric tons of CO2in 2012, aiding greatly in reducing America’s carbon footprint.
