LEDs ♦ news digest of yourself – it’s just the right thing to do.”
“The only time I’m going to think about my lighting is when I’m showing it off,” said Barman. “The high-quality LED light makes everything appear brighter and safer—and that translates into a better customer experience.”
Cree scientific advisor Steven P. DenBaars elected to NAE
DenBaars has been recognised for his contributions to gallium nitride-based materials and devices for solid state lighting and displays
Steven P. DenBaars is a prominent faculty member in the College of Engineering at UC Santa Barbara and a professor of electrical and computer engineering and of materials.
304 series Canopy luminaire
Twenty-four Cree 304 Series recessed canopy luminaires with petroleum symmetric optics replaced the original 368-W metal halide fixtures on the fuelling canopy. Based on BetaLED Technology, the 105-watt 304 Series luminaires provide superior NanoOptic lighting control with little to no spill-off into neighbouring areas, helping Highland Chevron comply with local light pollution ordinances. In addition, 330-watt fluorescent fixtures were replaced by 27 Cree 304 Series pendant-mount luminaires in the ExtraMile food market.
Other green features of the gas station and convenience store include 180 solar panels on the fuelling canopy and store rooftop, capable of delivering nearly one-third of a typical gas station’s electricity needs. Highland Chevron also installed a geothermal well that exchanges heat through groundwater to naturally cool water for the store’s refrigeration cases, while water pipes store heat from cooling units underground for hot water usage.
“Energy efficient and near maintenance-free LED lighting is ideal for the 7/24 operations of gas stations and convenience stores,” said Andy Strickland, Cree vice president, petroleum lighting. “Cree’s LED products offer the Beaverton Chevron early payback and financial savings over their lifetime – they are the best choice for c-stores and gas stations.”

Election to the Academy is among the highest professional distinctions accorded to an engineer. Membership honours those who have made outstanding contributions to “engineering research, practice, or education, including, where appropriate, significant contributions to the engineering literature,” and to the “pioneering of new and developing fields of technology, making major advancements in traditional fields of engineering, or developing/implementing innovative approaches to engineering education.”
