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.”

Cree
Announces Lighting-Class Performance for Warm White XLamp® LEDs
DURHAM, NC, MARCH 21, 2007 — Cree, Inc. (Nasdaq: CREE), a market leader in LED
solid-state lighting components, today announced that it is shipping warm white
XLamp LEDs that produce up to 124 lumens at a correlated color temperature (CCT)
of 3,000 K when driven at 700 mA. Unlike most warm white power LEDs, XLamp LEDs
are qualified to run at up to 700 mA. With this announcement, XLamp LED
lighting-class brightness and efficiency is now available in warm white from
Cree.
The availability of high-performance LEDs across a full range of color
temperatures can allow lighting manufacturers to build cost-effective LED
fixtures for many indoor home and office applications, helping meet the need for
energy-efficient, environmentally friendly lighting. The new warm white is
available in both the XLamp XR-E and XR-C power LED families that are binned to
the proposed ANSI standard, allowing manufacturers to select LEDs the same way
they select bulbs today.
“The LED industry has struggled to boost the brightness and efficiency of warm
white LEDs, which have historically offered significantly lower performance than
cool white LEDs,” stated Norbert Hiller, Cree Lighting general manager and vice
president. “The new XLamp warm white LEDs hold a stable color point and offer
lighting designers and architects the first lighting-class warm white LED light
source for general illumination applications that have traditionally been lit
with incandescent light sources.”
