Crisp, bright LED downlight

The CREE LR4 Recessed Architectural Downlight is a long-lasting, high-efficiency LED for commercial and residential applications. This fixture replaces a 50-watt bulb, and is designed to last 50,000 hours. The CREE LR 4 is available with a moderate or deep-recess angle that offers flexibility to meet diverse lighting design requirements. It's also dimmable to 20%.

Made in the USA, it's suitable for use in insulated and non-insulated ceilings. The LR4 generates white light with LEDs in a new way that enables an unprecedented combination of light output, efficacy, beautiful color and affordability.

CREE lights have a high color rendering, so everything under them looks more vibrant and life-like. CREE's TrueWhite technology uses a patented mixture of unsaturated yellow and saturated red LEDs to create a pure white light that's consistent over time and temperature.

Most energy companies have rebates from $20-$30 per fixture. Be sure to call your local utility to determine what rebates are available.
