About Cree LED Founded in 1987, Cree LED began with a focus on semiconductor materials and fueled the adoption of blue LED die in automotive and display backlighting applications. Throughout the 1990's we further refined LED technology and became a leading innovator in the space.

Cree Lighting – the fixtures and lamps business – had previously been sold to Ideal Industries in 2019. Cree, Inc. is now Wolfspeed, Inc. With the sale of its LED business, Cree, Inc. had exited lighting completely to focus on its Wolfspeed business and markets related to Silicon Carbide technology and production.

In March 2021, Smart Global Holdings (SGH) completed the acquisition of the LED business of Cree, Inc., a corporation now known as Wolfspeed, Inc. The acquisition involved the components portion of the Cree product line, mainly LED chips and other LED components.

This excellent quality LED is used for many different types of lighting including emergency lights, outdoor and indoor lighting, and portable lighting, and is even used by vehicle manufacturers.

Cree's TAA compliant products are manufactured and/or assembled in the U.S. and are approved to be acquired by the U.S. Government for use. These products are also compliant with GSA Schedules.
