Cree Demonstrates 131 Lumens per Watt White LED.

LED 80 Lumens per watt.

DURHAM, NC, JUNE 20, 2006 — Cree, Inc. (Nasdaq: CREE), a market leader in LED solid-state lighting components, today announced LED efficacy test results that set a new benchmark for the LED industry. Cree reported results of 131 lumens per watt white LED efficacy, confirmed by the National Institute of Standards and Technology in Gaithersburg, Maryland. Tests were performed using prototype white LEDs with Cree EZBright™ LED chips operating at 20 mA and a correlated color temperature of 6027 K.

“This is the highest level of efficacy that has been publicly reported for a white LED and raises the bar for the LED industry,” said Scott Schwab, Cree general manager, LED chips. “This result once again demonstrates Cree’s leadership in LED technology and provides a glimpse into the future as to why we believe LED-based lighting products could not only save energy, but also change the way people use light.”

“Technical advancements at the component level are critical to growing the emerging white LED lighting space. Cree’s results speak to the exciting developments underway that will enable new white light applications and subsequently facilitate market adoption,” stated Fritz Morgan, chief technology officer for Color Kinetics, a leading innovator of LED lighting systems and technologies.

Lumens-per-watt is the standard used by the lighting industry to measure the conversion of electrical energy to light. As a reference, conventional incandescent light bulbs are typically in the 10 to 20 lumens per watt range, while compact fluorescent lamps range from 50 to 60 lumens per watt.

IQ LED lighting solution that is solar powered. It integrates the Luxeon/Gree/Nichia LEDs into a engineered aluminum extrusion with proper thermal design. The battery packs and solar panel are sized to provide a stand alone lighting solution ideal for remote locations or areas where power is a problem. Is that rural driveway hard to see, consider using an IQ Solar LED to ease the path way with Light.

IQLED Lamps is easily taken advantage of in infrastructure applications that are costly to maintain. Tunnels and overpasses that would require remote attention and cause traffic stoppage can remain in operation for many years without relamping. Low energy consumption allows for new applications such as self-powered LED Tunnel solar systems.

 

area lighting is essential for maintaining nighttime safety and security, but in many cases, a reliable source of electricity may be unavailable or too costly to access

 general illumination systems offer a convenient, affordable and environmentally friendly way to add outdoor area lighting anywhere, anytime for an almost limitless number of applications.

CobraHead-Styled LED Streetlight LED high power streetlights - led roadway light - replace high-intensity discharge (HID) Lamps.

With an average life span of 100,000-plus hours (11 years), IQ LEDs operate reliably year after year and are virtually maintenance free.
 

IQ LED Lamps Direct incandescent replacement CobraHead Styled LED Streetlights. These new streetlights eliminate the unwanted glare, light trespass, energy waste and sky glow that accompany traditional incandescent streetlamps. An estimated 34% of outdoor light generated in the U.S. goes into space, flooding the skies and creating electric haze that reduces stargazing. IQ LED Street lights shine light in the direction where it is needed – at ground level – reducing the amount of light that is lost to the sky and improving overall nighttime viewing.
