The IG Series parking garage luminaire by Cree Lighting revolutionizes parking garage illumination with its innovative optical waveguide platform, WaveMax® Technology, delivering exceptionally low-glare light while maintaining superior energy efficiency. This advanced technology features a unique design that reduces LED source luminance and limits uplight to just 5.4%, providing a visually comfortable environment that also meets rigorous safety standards like IES RP-8-21 and IES Security Zone G-1-03. The IG Series offers four lumen packages, ranging from 3,860 to 12,525 lumens, with wattages between 33 and 100 watts, replacing traditional 250W PSMH fixtures with up to 136 lumens per watt efficacy. The fixture comes with a 10-year limited warranty and is assembled in the USA from domestic and imported parts.
Equipped with an impact-resistant white polycarbonate housing and acrylic lenses, the IG Series combines durability with a sleek, low-profile design that facilitates easy installation. The corrosion-resistant anodized aluminum top plate enhances longevity, while mounting options include pendant and junction box installations compatible with existing 4-inch square, rectangular, or octagonal junction boxes. Weighing just 10 pounds, the luminaire also includes QR code access for online installation instructions, luminaire details, and warranty claims. The optical system leverages WaveMax® Technology and DiamondFacet™ microlenses to precisely control light distribution, offering a Type V Short Distribution pattern that minimizes glare and uplight. Less than 15% of total lumens fall within the 70-80° zone—significantly below DLC’s 25% maximum—while vertical illumination is provided at levels twice those recommended in RP-8-21.
The electrical system of the IG Series supports input voltages from 120-277V or 347-480V at 50/60Hz, boasting a power factor greater than 0.9 and total harmonic distortion below 20%. The fixture maintains constant input power throughout its lifespan and operates efficiently within a temperature range of -40°C to +40°C (-40°F to +104°F). Standard 0-10V dimming capabilities allow compatibility with various control systems, with surge suppression protection rated at 6kV/3kA integral to the unit. When required, slow blow fuses or Type C/D breakers manage inrush current safely.
The IG Series is cULus listed and suitable for wet locations, with its enclosure rated IP66 per IEC 60598 standards. It requires minimum 90°C supply conductors for 120-277V and minimum 75°C for 347-480V configurations. The fixture has undergone ANSI C136.2 surge protection testing and meets FCC Part 15, Subpart B and C limits for electromagnetic emissions. Some configurations also comply with Buy American Act (BAA) and Build America, Buy America (BABA) requirements. The product is RoHS compliant, and DLC Premium qualified, with specific exceptions noted for certain lumen packages.
For enhanced control and energy savings, the IG Series integrates seamlessly with Cree’s Synapse® SimplySNAP platform, a connected lighting solution offering zone dimming, motion sensing, and daylight harvesting capabilities. Supporting up to 1,000 nodes per gateway through a reliable self-healing mesh network, the system provides utility-grade power monitoring and features a user-friendly browser-based interface accessible via smartphones, tablets, and PCs. This intelligent platform elevates the IG Series to new levels of energy productivity, code compliance, and overall lighting quality, making it ideal for modern parking garage applications that demand both performance and flexibility.
