Cree saves $161k and cuts lighting energy costs 49% with Cree Lighting

Cree Lighting, a market-leading innovator in LED technology, sought to upgrade the outdated fluorescent and exterior lighting systems across its own extensive campuses in North Carolina. The challenge was to implement a more energy-efficient lighting solution that would reduce maintenance interruptions and lower operational costs.

The vendor, Cree Lighting, implemented its own LED products, including nearly 9,000 LED luminaires, LEDway streetlights, and Edge area luminaires across the facilities. This solution delivered significant results, including a 49 percent annual savings in energy costs, equating to $161,000 saved. Furthermore, Cree Lighting's solution virtually eliminated manufacturing line downtime caused by lighting maintenance and improved overall employee productivity.
