When it comes to LED lighting, CREE is the market leader in innovation and research. Since 1987, CREE has dedicated itself to producing safe, energy efficient and environmentally friendly LED lighting options. Their product line currently includes a wide variety of LED products, including fixtures such as troffers and canopies, energy efficient bulbs, and blue and green chips, as well as power-switching and radio frequency (RF) equipment. And this is just a taste of the lighting options crafted by CREE, who offer a lighting option for just about any project.

Over the last 27 years, CREE has worked tirelessly to develop new technologies to replace unsafe and costly traditional lighting options. CREE's first LED product -- the blue LED -- was launched in 1989, and today the product is known as CREE's XLamp LEDs, considered the first "lighting-class" LEDs in the market. Since then, CREE has continued to expand its product portfolio, with some of their latest products including the industry's first 8000 lumen LED module for high ceiling applications.

Today, CREE continues to advance LED technologies and is constantly working on new innovations. CREE currently holds over 1,200 patents in the US, and has another 1,000 patents currently pending. And globally, CREE holds over 2,100 foreign patents, with another over 2,300 pending. For the lighting solutions of the future, CREE is a good company to keep your eye on, especially if lighting is crucial to your business.

What sets CREE apart from other manufacturers is their emphasis on not only energy efficient, but also beautiful and eye-pleasing lighting that creates warm and welcoming atmospheres for work and home life. CREE LEDs use color modulation to match and even improve on the warm lighting produced by incandescent bulbs, which are being phased out due to their energy inefficiency and short life span. With CREE LED lighting, you can save energy and enjoy a long lasting product while also getting the exact color temperature and feel that you desire from your lights. It’s really the best of both worlds.

CREE is headquartered in Durham, NC, and has global offices in Sweden, Taiwan, China, Canada, Germany, Italy, Hong Kong, Japan and Malaysia.
