Product Characteristics

PRODUCT OVERVIEW:

The CREE LR6 6” Recessed Can Light is a 12-watt can light for new construction and retrofits that installs easily in most standard recessed IC or non-IC 6” can housings. The LR6 uses only 12 watts of electricity to generate warm, white light with LED’s in a new way that enables an unprecedented combination of light output, energy efficiency, color, and affordability.

Proprietary technology delivers high-quality white light that is fully dimmable with compatible dimmers (See Specification Sheet). The LR6 designed for a lifetime of over 50,000 hours, which is more than 10 years when operated at 12 hours a day.

Made of durable, 110% recycled, die-cast aluminum. Uses about 1/8th the electricity of typical 6” incandescent light bulbs. The LR6 provides more light per watt of energy than CFL’s, which makes it easier to comply with energy codes such as California’s Title 24.

The LR6 has many options and accessories, allowing you to full customization capabilities. There are seven trim styles and two base types that are offered. We can supply you with the LR6’s 6” can as well. The 6” can is offered with both the Edison E27 base type and Title 24 compliant GU24 base type. If you would like to surface mount the unit, then purchase our Surface Mount Housing option. Overall, the LR6 is a cost effectie, ultra energy-efficient downlight with superior quality and a long lifespan.

CONSTRUCTION: 100% recycled die-cast aluminum construction with CREE LEDs. Multiple trim finishes available.

ILLUMINATION: 650 lumens from 12, 1.0 watt CREE LEDs. Offered in color temperatures of warm white (2700K) and cool white (3500K).



INSTALLATION: Installs into new or existing 6 inch cans with E27 or GU base type. GU base type is California Title 24 compliant. Compatible recessed can models and surface mount housing options can be added on when ordering.

ELECTRICAL SPECIFICATIONS: 12-watt electrical consumption. AC 120 (60Hz). Minimal heat production. Operating Temperature is 0~50 °C. Humidity: 0~90% non-condensed.

CODE COMPLIANCE: UL Listed power supply. California Title 24 compliant.

Question : What is CRI?
Answer : CRI stands for Color Rendering Index, which is used to determine a light’s accuracy in rendering different colors when compared to a reference light source with the same correlated color temperature. The index ranges from 0 for a low-pressure sodium vapor lamp, to 100 for a source like an incandescent light bulb. The higher the CRI, the better the visual perception of colors.
Question : What is CCT?
Answer : CCT stands for Correlated Color Temperature which relates to the spectral properties of a light source. Color temperature is measured in degrees Kelvin. Low color temperature implies warmer light whereas high color temperature implies a colder light.
Question : Why is the impact of heat on an LED?
Answer : As small as LEDs are, their circuitry generates significant amounts of heat that must be dissipated. So, when you look at our LED bulbs you can see that we have built in aluminum heat sinks to dissipate that heat. For these heat sinks to work correctly and to get the maximum product lifespan, our LED bulbs must be operated in ambient (room) temperature environments. Placing our LED products in cans or other types of enclosed housings that increase the ambient temperature can cause them to overheat and decrease product lifespan, which is not covered under our LED warranty. To help you avoid this, we will gladly help you find the right product for your application/installation. We sell a number of LED lights that have been specifically engineered for installation in cans and other tight spaces. Please give us a call at 877.305.0898 and one of our technical experts will be happy to help you.
Question : What is an LED?
Answer : LED stands for Light Emitting Diode. LEDs produce light differently, and more efficiently, than incandescent and fluorescent lamp types. LEDs emit light when an electric current is applied to a semiconducting chip. When electrons and holes (charge-carriers) interact, the electrons give off light and fall into a lower energy state. These chips have evolved to be capable of producing powerful, efficient light, capable of over 100 lumens per watt. LED color quality has also evolved, allowing us to match the colors and dimmability of incandescent lamps.
Question : What about our prices and product quality?
Answer : Buying factory direct from Greentorch allows you to purchase the highest quality LEDs at the lowest prices, bringing you the best overall value. We use the newest and most powerful CREE LEDs in almost all of our LED products. Don’t be fooled, other LED companies will give false promises and statistics about light power, light quality, and product lifespan. When you buy from Greentorch, you can be assured that you will get a superior product at an excellent price, which we guarantee will perform to the specifications we have provided. All of our LEDs are backed by a two-year full replacement warranty when operated in accordance with the correct product application.

Our products typically carry a 5 year warranty though on certain items the warranty is longer. All products are guaranteed to be new, and free from defect. Batteries carry a 5 year prorated warranty. For specific warranty related questions, contact us and we will provide you with any needed information.
