Cree LED Bulb Lasts 6x Longer

15 September 2015

Source: CreeSource: CreeThe new Cree LED bulb is built for LED performance in color quality, light output and dimming. It has an improved longer lifetime of over 27 years (30,000 hours), up to six times longer. Its 4Flow Filament Design ensures that it looks and lights like a traditional incandescent. The LED provides consumers with a higher color rendering index of 83 to better display colors, ENERGY STAR compliant omnidirectional distribution for all-around light, and is fully dimmable with most standard dimmers and suitable for enclosed fixtures.

The bulb delivers 460 lumens for the 40-watt replacement and 815 lumens for the 60-watt replacement in soft white (2700K) and daylight (5000K) color temperatures inside a durable, shatterproof housing and consumes up to 85% less energy during its lifetime. As the best LED bulb, it has once again achieved the ENERGY STAR certification by meeting all the high performance requirements.

Available as 40-watt and 60-watt replacements, consumers can currently purchase the new Cree LED Bulb at www.homedepot.com/cree this week and in stores soon for as low as $7.97.
