The CR-T Series from Cree Lighting represents a high-performance and cost-effective solution for both residential and light-commercial downlighting applications. These LED downlights are designed for easy installation into most existing 4-inch, 5-inch, and 6-inch IC or non-IC housings, making them ideal for both new construction and retrofit projects. With dimmable capabilities down to 5% using standard TRIAC dimmers at 120V, the CR-T Series delivers flexibility and energy savings without compromising on light quality or performance.
The CR-T Series includes three core variants: CR4T, CR6T, and CR6T-G. The CR4T model offers 790 lumens of output from 10.5 watts, achieving 75 lumens per watt. It features Cree's patented TrueWhite® Technology for a 90+ CRI and consistent color performance. Available in color temperatures of 3000K, 3500K, and 4000K, the CR4T is suitable for insulated and non-insulated ceilings and is rated for dry, damp, and wet locations. Its optical system combines reflective and refractive elements to produce smooth, uniform light distribution with minimal glare and no pixelation. A durable one-piece aluminum reflector also supports efficient heat dissipation, helping to maintain optimal performance throughout the fixture's 50,000-hour lifespan.
The CR6T builds on this foundation with higher lumen outputs, ranging from 825 to 1,650 lumens, and input power from 11 to 19.5 watts. It is available in 2700K and 3500K CCT options and supports both 120V and universal 120-277V input. Like the CR4T, it features TrueWhite® Technology and robust construction with advanced thermal management. Its deep-recessed design reduces glare, while the optical system enhances brightness balance across horizontal and vertical surfaces. The CR6T is an excellent choice for both ambient and task lighting in a variety of interior environments.
The CR6T-G gimbal model introduces directional flexibility with 35° tilt and full 360° rotation, making it ideal for accent and wall wash applications. Offering outputs between 825 and 1,600 lumens at 9 to 18.8 watts, this version delivers up to 91 lumens per watt. It retains the high-quality visual performance of the other CR-T models, including 90+ CRI, low-glare optics, and Cree’s TrueWhite® color consistency. Beam angles are slightly narrower—approximately 85° with a field angle of 135°—to better suit directional lighting needs. Like its counterparts, it is wet-rated, designed for longevity, and compatible with a wide range of standard dimmers.
All CR-T Series models feature durable housings, adjustable flip clips for secure installation, and integrated power supplies with a power factor above 0.9 and total harmonic distortion under 20%. They operate in a temperature range from -25°C to +35°C (-13°F to +95°F) and are backed by a five-year limited warranty for the luminaire and a one-year warranty for trims and accessories. Whether for general illumination or focused highlighting, the CR-T Series delivers dependable, energy-efficient lighting with advanced visual comfort and color quality.
