Producing SiC devices is no easy task, both in R&D and manufacturing, but it is a material whose durability and performance allows semiconductors to penetrate a variety of applications Si has difficulties in.

Posted 6 Mar 2013 · Report post These are the mass market products Cree has put out just recently, there are a number of lighting products available for various applications. I think the 60w bulbs put out 800 lumens which is more than most of the CFLs that they would be replacing.http://www.cree.com/lighting/products Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 6 Mar 2013 · Report post This is very cool news Jason! I'm glad you enjoy working for that tech company!There are 3 bulbs currently being produced: 2 60W bulbs that output 2700K warm-white and 5000K Daylight, and 1 40W equivalent bulb that outputs warm-white. They are available now online at Home Depot and will at available at Home Depot stores around the end of the month.When you say "warm-white", do you mean it has a warmer more yellow glow to it, like sunlight or an incandescent bulb? The only reservation I have about non-incandescent light is that it can be a sterile-white that doesn't feel as comfortable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
