Cree CPY LED Canopy Luminaire Delivers Category-Leading Efficiency

Cree Canopy Luminaire

 

September 19 2016

Cree, Inc. continues to break efficiency records with the next generation of its CPY 13,000 lumen LED canopy luminaire, delivering efficiency of up to 136 lumens per watt (LPW). This new 13,000 lumen Cree canopy luminaire offers superior illumination and industry-leading efficiency, as well as easy installation and lower total cost of ownership for better light experiences. 

Already a favourite with canopy owners for its uniform, clean white light, the 13,000 lumen CPY luminaire boosts efficacy by 20%, lowering operating costs while enhancing roadside visibility and appeal at service stations, convenience stores and drive-through restaurants or banking locations.

“Gas stations, travel centres and quick-service restaurants are under constant pressure to increase traffic and lower operating costs while providing safe and visually appealing lighting,” says David Elien, Cree Senior Vice President, Lighting. “The Cree CPY 13,000 lumen LED canopy luminaire delivers superior illumination that provides a comfortable, visually appealing environment for a better overall customer experience while significantly trimming operating costs.”

The improved luminaire is DesignLights Consortium Premium qualified for maximum utility rebates and now generates added energy savings of $12 a year per luminaire, totalling cost reductions of more than $34,000 over 10 years for a typical petroleum retrofit installation. It is also Class I, Division 2 hazardous-location rated for direct mount applications, with an expanded range of options for areas where flammable liquids and gasses are present.

Replacing metal halide luminaires with the CPY Series canopy luminaire is quick and simple with a slim, low-profile design that eliminates the need to cut into the canopy deck and a seamless direct mount that provides a water-tight seal in virtually any canopy or soffit for easy installation.

The entire CPY Series is also available at 4000K, and comes with Cree’s industry-leading 10-year limited warranty. There are two optics choices: a flat or prismatic drop lens to meet the visual, as well as the vertical and horizontal illumination performance needs of a typical canopy application. The integrated driver within the canopy housing further simplifies installation, reducing installation time and cost.
