Cree LED Lighting is poised to take the LED world to new heights. The company has been at the forefront of developing high-end LED´s technology and has continually displayed its keenness on adopting latest technologies in the segment.
Revolutionary LED Platform
One of the biggest achievements from Cree LED Lighting is the development of a brand new platform, which produces close to 160 lumens for every watt. This entails that now users get to enjoy the same lighting as a 60 watt bulb except that it consumes just 7 watts! GE is anticipated to be one of the first companies to adopt Crees technology to manufacture a highly efficient LED bulb. The new modules from Cree will aim to resolve typical issues LED manufacturers face when making such lighting. The new module called LMR4 will seek to integrate optics, driver electronics as well as central thermal management thereby making this compact module ready to use as is.
What can be Expected?
The new technology to be adopted with Cree LED lighting will entail LED lights with life spans of approximately 50,000 hours at only 11 watts. These bulbs are also expected to deliver as much as 605 lumens with the use of TrueWhite technology. When compared to a standard 65w bulb, this translates into a giant saving for the consumer. In addition, there are a host of other lighting options available through Cree which can be used for a number of different applications. Cree is making a phenomenal effort to continue research and development with an aim to eventually design a light bulb that is even brighter and more energy efficient.
GE EnergySmart
GEs new EnergySmart bulb is based on Cree LED Lighting technology. It uses 9 watts and is considered to be a replacement of the regular 40 W incandescent bulbs. This bulb uses XLamp XP-G Cree LED´s and is expected to produce as much as 25m000 hours of longevity. This is 25 times longer than what any 40 W halogen bulbs or incandescent bulbs can last for. It is also thrice longer compared to conventional CFLs, which have a typical lifespan of 8,000 hours. While these bulbs can be pricey, the savings realized over time will make them more than worth it.
The Company
Cree has been manufacturing eco-friendly as well as energy-efficient LED lighting for several years now. They are based out of North Carolina and apart from LED lighting, the company also provides semiconductor solutions targeted at power and wireless applications. Some products the company manufactures include LED components, LED modules, Green and Blue LED chips, RF transistor devices and other materials.
Cree LED lighting signals the onset of energy efficient LED lighting, which is bound to change the way the world perceives lighting. With significant energy savings anticipated from such bulbs and the backing of Crees sound knowledge of LED technology, these lightings are expected to be an instant hit amongst consumers.
