news digest ♦ LEDs fluorescent strips in “back-of-the-house” lighting applications.
The entire CR Series of troffers and light engines can now be installed in surface mount applications. This extends payback beyond T-bar ceilings. All of these solutions are built on the CR troffer and are available in the new 3000K colour temperature for retail and hospitality applications demanding beautiful, warm light.
Cree CR troffers, CR24 UPKIT and CR-LE products are also now available with an integrated LED battery pack. The 1400 lumen battery pack eliminates the cumbersome task of rewiring a fixture just to change the battery.
Cree reckons its CR troffers outperform traditional lighting options and now deliver the widest range of lumen levels (2200, 3100, 4000 and 5000 lumens) for the popular CR24, CR14 and CR-LE products. The CR Series is powered by Cree TrueWhite Technology to deliver a combination of 90 CRI and up to 110 lumens per watt.
“Cree changed the indoor lighting industry one year ago when we introduced the first affordable LED troffer series,” says David Elien, vice president, Cree lighting. “The CR Series is now the industry’s best-selling LED troffer. With this success, Cree announces major extensions and says thank you by making our CR Series even more affordable to drive faster payback.”
Compound semiconductor industry revenues drop, but not for long

The CR24 and CR22 troffers are available to ship directly from stock to accommodate high demand and jump-start end-user payback.
“Pricing for 0-10V dimming control to five-percent is significantly reduced, which means daylight harvesting has never been more affordable”, says Cree.
“In my 28 years in the electrical industry, I have never had as much excitement and success with a product line as I have with the Cree CR series LED troffers,” comments David Fredd, manager lighting business development, Graybar.
“No other lighting manufacturer offers this level of energy saving performance and colour quality - Cree CR series troffers deliver a combination of performance, pricing and efficacy that is truly untouchable.”
The CR series has expanded three-fold by offering CR24 upgrade kits, a standalone light engine and SMK Series surface mount kits. The CR24 UPKIT provides a quick upgrade solution to replace existing, outdated fluorescent luminaires while leaving the ceiling intact.
The light engine, CR-LE, is now available as a standalone luminaire and offers an economical alternative to replacing

The need for increasing bandwidth for mobile handsets will continue to power revenue growth in the compound semiconductor industry in the future Compound semiconductor manufacturers Skyworks, RFMD and Freescale experienced revenue declines at the end of 2011.
However, bandwidth consumption and mobile handset sales are still increasing.
The Strategy Analytics GaAs and Compound Semiconductor Technologies Service (GaAs) viewpoint, “Compound Semiconductor Industry Review January 2012: Microelectronics,” captures product, technology, contract and financial announcements for these companies, as well as others such as Fujitsu, Anadigics, Agilent, Hittite Microwave, TriQuint Semiconductor, Avago, Soitec, Analog Devices and Microsemi.
“Even though we are seeing revenue growth rates slow from some of the larger compound semiconductor manufacturers, this should not set off too many warning bells”, notes Eric Higham, Director of the Strategy Analytics GaAs and Compound Semiconductor Technologies Service. “The need for bandwidth, especially due to ever-increasing sales of mobile handsets, will continue to power revenue growth in the compound semiconductor industry.”
