Product Description

Unbelievable. The Cree LR6 consumes only 12 watts of electricity to produce light comparable to 65 watts of incandescent lighting.

Energy savings are compounded many times once you take into account the extremely long life you can expect from this LED. Not only is this lamp more energy efficient than a CFL, it is mercury-free, entirely safe, and dimmable.  And you can install it easily, without an electrician, in an existing downlight like the ones you probably have in your kitchen.

Many of us have been waiting a long time for this advance in residential, dimmable lighting options.

This downlight module provides you with everything you need to make the transition to safer, environmentally sound, economically wise lighting, whether as part of new construction or renovation, or as a simple do-it-yourself project. 

The time is now for LED lighting. And this is a complete recessed downlight trim kit and an LED light, in one unit.

The Cree LR6 Dimmable LED Fixture fits standard recessed housings in new construction or as a retrofit for existing fixtures. The 6-inch-diameter unit will install easily in most 6 inch IC or non-IC rated housings via a standard Edison socket you know, the kind you screw a regular lightbulb into.  The whole setup is supported by a rotating clip retention system.

We Thought You'd Like To Know

To be honest, this is a remarkable product.

This LED produces the soft light most of us prefer using about one-fifth the wattage of similar glowing incandescent lights.  The light is warm, pleasant, and almost indistinguishable from incandescent.  It comes on instantly, difuses light well, and does everything you expect.

The Cree LR6 is really good at what it does. This product was the grand prize winner in the solid state lighting category of the 2007 Lighting for Tomorrow Competition, sponsored by the U.S. Department of Energy, Consortium for Energy Efficiency, and American Lighting Association.

This color temperature is 2700 degrees Kelvin (warm white), and available in a cooler bright white. The unit will dim to about 20% of full light output if you have a dimmer.

We recommend warm white if you're replacing an existing incandescent bulb and want the same kind of lighting.

OK, OK, the fixture costs more than the bulb it replaces.  But consider the following:

• The light uses 1/5th the electricity of incandescent, the savings add up quickly
• At around $10 for a bulb that lasts 2,000 hours, this one lasts 50,000 hours -- 25 times longer
