Cree Brings LED Lighting to Home Depot
August 19, 2010... The Home Depot customers can now purchase an LED luminaire with LED technology from USA-based LED product company, Cree. In a development anticipated in the industry for some time, Cree will make its six-inch LED-downlights available at the home improvement superstore, Home Depot. While numerous other companies have begun offering LED-based bulbs at retailers, this may be the first time that an LED-based downlight is offered to general consumers at a popular retail chain.
Cree's EcoSmart LED Downlight retails for less than $50. The EcoSmart LED Downlight is available now via homedepot.com. Home Depot hopes to make the LED downlights available in nearly 2,000 The Home Depot retail stores in fall 2010.
Cree notes that its EcoSmart LED Downlight was designed to exceed stringent Energy Star criteria. It consumes just 10.5 watts, which is approximately 85-percent less energy than a comparable incandescent and 50-percent less energy than a fluorescent.
