CREE Has Been Purchased New LEDs In The Works
Details are sketchy but CREE hinted silicon carbide-based LEDs are in the works. 50+% less heating. Much more efficient. Silicon Carbide?

- As I understand it, using carbide allows the diodes to operate and remain stable at much higher temperatures.
For a while, Cree found more profits in using their process technology to make switches for EV and electrical grid applications, instead of the LED market.
Cree has come out with some fantastic hugely powerful transistors over the last few years. - I thought based on what I’m reading that the LEDs they produce are already silicon carbide based products.
Read the ‘1983’ section Clicky, clicky - WOW their LED's are already amazing I have a 1200 Lumen flashlight that draws 1 amp at 3 volts.. that's 3 watts 1200 lumen is 100 watts on ye old style lamps.
