Walmart to Install Cree LED Lamps at 650 Stores

admin November 25, 2009

Cree, Inc. has been selected to provide LED lighting to Walmart for new stores and renovations. Walmart plans to install Cree LRP-38 LED lamps in 650 stores during the first year, replacing ceramic metal halide in the produce and electronics departments. Cree’s LR6 recessed LED downlights are also being used in new construction applications.

The Cree LRP-38, a PAR38 style LED lamp, was selected for its energy efficiency, long lifetime, controlled beam and high color-rendition, according to Cree. Rated at 50,000 hours, the LRP-38 consumes 82% less energy than the 70W ceramic metal halide bulbs it replaces. The unique design of the LRP-38 also reduces glare for customers, focusing attention on the merchandise and not the lighting.
