Cree proposes to develop a high-efficiency, low -ost lamp module that will target commercial luminaire applications and is capable of replacing standard, halogen, fluorescent and metal halide lamps based on the total Cost-of-Light.  Cree proposes to achieve the required efficiency gains developing photonic-crystal LEDs and improving packaging concepts.  This development will build on Cree’s expertise in thin-film LED products and packaged LEDs.  The focus of the photonic crystal development is to improve the light extraction efficiency compared to conventional LEDs.  Cree will perform the work to deliver by the end of a focused two-year effort 100 LPW lamp modules that emit at 4,100K.  These modules will be integrated into 1400 Lumen luminaires.
