Cree Inc. (Durham, NC) is announcing the availability of EasyWhite(TM) bins. The LED innovation reportedly simplifies LED-system design and improves LED-to-LED color consistency. Customers can now buy LEDs by specifying CCT and light output, just like traditional lightbulbs.
EasyWhite bins are offered in 3,500K, 3,000K and 2,700K color temperatures and are 75% smaller than the ANSI C78.377 standard color regions.
Previously, customers manually mixed multiple LED bins to achieve consistent color points. For many LED lighting applications, such as MR-16 lightbulbs, color mixing multiple LEDs added manufacturing complexity and inventory needs.
"We ve listened to our customers requests for tighter color points, especially for warm and neutral white lighting applications," said Paul Thieken, Cree’s director of marketing, LED components. "Our goal is to increase end-product color consistency for all lighting applications, and EasyWhite bins can reduce manufacturing complexity and inventory needs.
