Cree, Inc. announced that it is redefining commercial lighting with the ZR Series LED troffer, delivering a new category of performance, affordability and inspired design. Featuring Cree TrueWhite Technology, the ZR Series LED troffer delivers superior color quality (> 90 CRI) in an ultra slim, sleek package at a remarkable initial price of $99. The ZR Series LED troffer cuts energy consumption in half, and with standard 0-10V dimming can accelerate its already rapid two-year payback.

The ZR Series LED troffer's thin 3.9" height and lightweight design enables faster installation without costly ceiling alterations. Offering a quick and easy one-for-one replacement of inefficient fluorescent troffers in education, healthcare and commercial building applications, the ZR Series LED troffer simplifies installation and significantly reduces labor costs during its 75,000-hour lifetime in all 1'x4', 2'x4' and 2'x2' configurations. The Cree ZR Series LED troffer is sold through Cree lighting sales channels throughout the U.S. and Canada.

Configurations start at $99. Energy consumption and payback calculated against a fluorescent three-lamp fixture (with lamp and ballast equal to 88 system watts) and based on typical commercial usage of 12 hours per day and $0.11 per kWh electric costs.
