Basic Cree LED questions

12 years ago

Hi all,

Can anyone tell me the difference b/t the CR6 and the LR6?

Also, I think I see a 4-inch on the website (CR4) but is there a five-inch?

And finally, the EcoSmart version made for Home Depot-- I'm seeing some labeled "bright white" and some labelled "soft white," but both have a 2700 color temp. Anyone know what the difference is?

Thanks for any guidance you can give me.

The question has been answered on this forum in previous posts.

The LR6 precedes the CR6.
Differences
1. The heat sink on the LR6 is more substantial.
2. The LR6 has a more limited dimming range than the CR6.
3. The LR6 is available at a higher color temp.
4. The LR6 family has a very high output member.
5. The warranty on the LR6 is longer than the ECOSMART branded CR6.

The 4" ECOSMART Cree is very new and is significantly less pricey than the LR4 solution.

There is no 5" Cree solution for 5" cans.
