Cree Celebrates 3rd Anniversary of Raleigh Becoming Cree's First LED City
February 2, 2010... Three years ago, Cree started its LED City program in Raleigh, North Carolina USA. According to Cree, Raleigh now boasts more than 40 installations, ranging from accent and indoor lighting to street and parking lot lighting.
Cree asserts that LED lighting can help cities save money from reduced energy consumption and reduced maintenance costs, as LED lights are designed to last longer and require less replacement than traditional lighting sources. Raleigh officials conservatively estimate the current use of LED lighting can save the city more than $200,000 annually.
“The city of Raleigh now favors LED lighting for all renovations and new projects,” explained Raleigh Assistant Manager Daniel Howe. “Working with Cree and becoming the world’s first LED City has given Raleigh the opportunity to jump ahead in deploying energy-efficient, solid-state lighting technology. ”
