About This Blog

Joining the LED Lighting Revolution isn’t effortless. It means you have to set aside your long-standing opinions about the incandescent light bulbs you grew up with and those funny-looking compact fluorescent bulbs that only recently started to seem normal.

But the more you know about LED lighting, the easier it is to join the Revolution. The Cree LED Lighting Revolution blog is a place where you can learn more about LED lighting, see where it’s being used and the beautiful (energy-efficient) results.

At Cree we believe the cheapest, cleanest energy is the energy you never have to make. And energy-efficiency is the single most important thing we can do to impact the energy equation in the next 20 years.

Consider this:

The U.S. Department of Energy estimates that widespread adoption of LED lighting by 2025 will:

• Reduce electricity demands from lighting by 62%.
• Eliminate 258 million metric tons of carbon emissions.
• Reduce the amount of materials being put into landfills.
• Avoid the building of 133 new power plants.
• Save the US over $280 billion.

Cree, Inc. is one of the world’s leading LED manufacturers from its base Durham, NC, and is leading the LED Lighting Revolution.
