Cree company, one of the world leaders in solid-state lighting market, has recently celebrated 20^th anniversary of its successful activities. Established in 1987, it employs more than 2600 specialists all over the world now.

World community displays growing concerns in ecological problems in the last years. Power-saving technologies allow to reduce heat emission and environment pollution. According to US Department of Energy estimates, migration to LED lamps within the next 20 years allows to reduce electric energy demand for the needs of lighting by 62%, prevent emission of 258 millions tons of contaminants and avoid necessity for building of 133 more electric power stations.

Cree put on the market LED lamps with light flux 100 Lm at 350 mA and warm white LED lamps for indoor lighting.

Keeping this in mind, Cree continues its effort in research and development of products based on Sic and GaN. In the last two years, this resulted in creation of LEDs with light characteristics that allow using them in outdoor and indoor lighting.

Materials and devices presented by Cree are result of intensive research and development program in the fields of defense and energy.

Cree believes that semiconductor product based on SiC and GaN is an excellent alternative for the ones based on Si and GaAs for a great number of applications.

Wide range of product offered by Cree - from LED lamps to power SHF devices – contributes to lowering power consumption and serves environment protection
