Cree and Habitat for Humanity Break Ground on First All-LED Habitat Home
August 10, 2010... During this past weekend, Cree, and Habitat for Humanity of Durham kicked off the construction on the first Habitat for Humanity house to be lit with all LED lighting fixtures. Habitat for Humanity is a charitable organization dedicated to providing quality housing to the poor and underprivileged.
Cree is sponsoring the construction of this home, with Cree employees assisting as volunteers on the project. The home will include Cree's newest LED downlight, the CR6, as well as other LED products featuring Cree LEDs. The LED lighting is expected to save approximately $250 worth of electricity costs per year compared to traditional lighting.
The LED lighting in the new Durham home, located at 1015 Moreland Avenue, is part of Cree's previously announced three-year, $1.5 million pledge to provide its LED downlights for all new Habitat homes built in the U.S. The house is sheduled to be completed by October 2010.
