Cree Announces Industry’s Brightest and
Highest-Efficiency Lighting-Class LED
Cree to Demonstrate XLamp® XP-G LED, Features 132
Lumens per Watt Efficacy, at LIGHTFAIR International
Cree, Inc. (Nasdaq: CREE), a market leader in LED lighting, announces it is
demonstrating the newest addition to its lighting-class XLamp® LED family—the
XLamp XP-G LED—at LIGHTFAIR International in New York, May 5-7, 2009.
The cool white XLamp XP-G provides 139 lumens and 132 lumens per Watt at 350 mA.
Driven at 1 A, the XP-G produces 345 lumens, which is 37 percent brighter and 53
percent more efficient than the brightest XR-E LED. The XP-G LED has the highest
lumen density of any available lighting-class LED, and it is based on the XLamp
XP family package.
“The XLamp XP-G again raises the level of performance available from our XLamp
LED family,” said Paul Thieken, Cree, marketing director, LED components. “This
product is designed for customers requiring the highest levels of brightness and
efficacy.”

Cree Announces Industry’s First Red-Green-Blue-White
Multichip LED and XLamp® Color LED Performance Breakthrough
Cree, Inc. (Nasdaq:
CREE), a market leader in LED lighting, is expanding its high-power color LED
product offerings. Cree is unveiling the industry’s first multichip MC-E LED
with red, green, blue and white chips—all in a single package. It is also
pairing new LED chip innovations with its industry-leading XLamp® XP-E package
to deliver the highest performance family of discrete, high-power color LEDs
available.
 The
XLamp MC-E color is a unique package design, combining white, red, green and
blue LED chips in a single component. The first of its kind in the industry,
this compact component provides design flexibility for color-changing LED
applications that require high flux from a small lighting source, such as
entertainment and architectural lighting.
 With
the industry’s highest performance, the XLamp XP-E color LEDs provide up to 22
percent more flux than the existing XLamp XR color portfolio, with an 80 percent
smaller footprint. The XP color portfolio is available in flux bins, at 350 mA,
up to:
* Royal Blue: 500 mW
* Blue: 39.8 lumens
* Green: 107 lumens
* Amber: 56.8 lumens
* Red: 56.8 lumens
Compared to the current XLamp XR color LEDs, space between the LED die can be
reduced by 75 percent with the new XLamp XP-E color LEDs and 94 percent with the
new XLamp MC-E color LED. This reduction in spacing can allow better color
mixing and shadow reduction for color-based applications, including decorative,
architectural and entertainment lighting. Cree is sampling the MC-E and XP-E
color LEDs, with production quantities targeted for Q3 calendar 2009.
“We have leveraged the LED chip and packaging innovations developed for our
lighting-class white LEDs to deliver real performance gains in high-power color
LED applications,” said Paul Thieken, Cree marketing director, LED components.
“The combination of technology innovation and package flexibility gives
designers working with Cree’s color LEDs increased brightness, flexibility and
control.”

Cree Demonstrates New XLamp MC-E LED
Extends Lighting-Class XLamp LED Performance with
Multi-Chip Package
DURHAM, N.C., MAY 27, 2008 — Cree, Inc. (Nasdaq: CREE), a market leader in LED
lighting, announces that it is demonstrating the newest addition to its
industry-leading XLamp® LED family—the XLamp MC-E LED—at LIGHTFAIR International
in Las Vegas, N.V., May 28-30, 2008.
The multi-chip XLamp MC-E being demonstrated retains the same 7mm x 9mm
footprint as Cree’s existing XLamp XR family LEDs while providing four times the
light output of the existing XR-E, the highest lumen output for a package of
this size. This powerful combination is designed to enable new applications and
reductions in overall system cost compared to other LED packages. At 9.8W, the
XLamp MC-E LED being demonstrated provides up to 790 lumens at 6000K and up to
605 lumens at 3000K.
The XLamp MC-E LED is being demonstrated in both cool and warm white at Cree’s
LIGHTFAIR International Booth #2635. Visitors to LIGHTFAIR can also see the
XLamp MC-E LED applied in indoor and outdoor luminaire demonstrations at the
following booths:

Cree Expands XLamp® XR-C LED Family to Include Full
Range of High-Performance Colors
DURHAM, N.C., MAY 8,
2008 — Cree, Inc, a market leader in LED lighting, has expanded its family of
XLamp® XR-C high-power LEDs to include Royal Blue, Blue, Green, Amber,
Red-Orange and Red. These LEDs are available in production quantities.
Standard flux order codes at 350 mA are available up to:
* 350 mW in Royal Blue,
* 23.5 lm in Blue,
* 67.2 lm in Green,
* 51.7 lm in Amber, Red-Orange and Red.
The XR-C color LEDs feature the same isolated thermal path, low thermal
resistance and high reliability as the white LEDs in the XR-C family. They also
offer a smooth upgrade path for customers looking to use the same footprint as
the XR products.
“We are extending our industry-leading XLamp LED portfolio with new,
higher-performance, lower-price options in the XR family form factor,” said Paul
Thieken, Cree director of marketing for lighting LEDs. “Cree enables design
flexibility for color LED applications with consistent drive currents and
footprints throughout the XLamp XR-C and XR-E LED families.”

With increased emphasis on energy efficiency, developers are being asked to
go a step further in planning future subdivisions. In planning the Morning
View subdivision in the NSW town of Quirindi the developer; Independent
Group Australia investigated an environmentally friendly option of solar
street lighting for their estate. With the blessing of Liverpool Plains
Shire Council IGA contacted Weidemuller NSW to design and manufacture custom
LED luminaires which would operate as stand alone units powered by solar
panels on specially designed Vicpole poles. The result is the first P5 rated
LED stand alone street lights using the Cree XR-E Power LEDs, to be used in
a residential subdivision in Australia – quite an achievement. Apart from
zero carbon emissions, it’s said the LED’s have a life expectancy of 50,000
hours and the solar panels are self cleaning. From all reports, the poles
and lights which were installed in July 2007, are “working perfectly”.

Cree, Inc. (Nasdaq: CREE), a leader in LED lighting components, today
announced it has demonstrated light output of more than 1,000 lumens – an
amount equivalent to the output level of a standard household light bulb –
from a single R&D LED. Cree’s achievement demonstrates continued leadership
in the development of LEDs that can make traditional light bulbs obsolete.
A single-die LED, driven at four amps, produced 1,050 lumens in cool white
and 760 lumens in a warm-white version. Efficacy of the cool-white LED was
72 lumens per watt and 52 lumens per watt from the warm-white device. Both
LED versions operated at substantially higher efficacy levels than those of
today’s conventional light bulbs. Historically, Cree’s R&D demonstrations
generally have been commercialized within 12 to 24 months.

Cree
Announces Breakthrough 100-Lumen XLamp LEDs Available in Volume Quantities
DURHAM, NC, JUNE 27,
2007 — Cree, Inc. (Nasdaq: CREE), a market leader in LED solid-state lighting
components, today announced commercial availability of XLamp® LEDs with minimum
luminous flux of 100 lumens at 350 mA. XLamp LEDs are the first LEDs to be
available in volume with this level of performance. This advance sets a new
standard in lighting-class LED brightness and efficiency.
XLamp LEDs have now achieved a 100% improvement in performance over the past 17
months. They can deliver either 25% greater brightness with improved efficacy,
or they can deliver up to 55% greater brightness at the same efficacy when
compared to the previous generation of XLamp LEDs. Moreover, the new XLamp LEDs
retain the same footprint as previous XLamp LEDs, thereby protecting customers’
design investments.
"Cree is to be congratulated on surpassing the 100-lumen level in its commercial
white LED products," said Robert Steele, director of the optoelectronics
practice at market research firm Strategies Unlimited. "The availability of such
high-performance devices should certainly accelerate the conversion of the
lighting market to solid-state sources."
“This is an announcement of volume availability, not an R&D result or
availability of a few parts,” stated Norbert Hiller, Cree vice president and
general manager for lighting LEDs. “These LEDs can enable lighting manufactures
to create fixtures using fewer LEDs than before, thereby lowering initial
product cost and reducing energy consumption.”
