Press Room Cree to Showcase LED Lighting Solutions at Lightfair
DURHAM, NC, MAY 3, 2007 — Cree, Inc. (Nasdaq: CREE), a leader in LED solid-state lighting components, today announced that it will showcase LED light for general illumination applications at Lightfair International, May 8-10, at Javits Convention Center in New York. In booth #2721, Cree will feature production and prototype models of streetlights and down lights using the company's XLamp® LEDs, demonstrating that the revolution in LED lighting is happening now.
"Companies have incorporated LEDs into different types of lighting fixtures for years – with varying degrees of success. But those early efforts were just a ripple compared to the wave of products coming to market," notes Norbert Hiller, Cree general manager and vice president of lighting LEDs. "Cree's new XLamp XR-E LEDs, the first true lighting-class LEDs, have enabled this oncoming wave. In our Lightfair booth, you'll see new LED streetlights and down lights that prove Cree's high-performance, high-efficiency LED technology is ready for general illumination applications. Real products for the lighting revolution are being shown."
Cree will demonstrate streetlights from:
* BetaLED (www.betaLED.com)
* IntenCity Lighting, Inc. (www.intencitylighting.com)
* Ledlight Group (www.ledlightgroup.com)
* Relume (www.lumecon.com)
* Stanley (www.stanley.co.jp)
Cree will demonstrate down lights from:
* Beta-Kramer (www.beta-kramer.com)
* LED Lighting Fixtures (www.LLFinc.com)
* Nebula Lighting Systems (www.nebulalighting.com)
* Panasonic Corporation (www.panasonic.com)
* Renaissance Lighting (www.renaissancelighting.com)
In addition, Cree will demonstrate future possibilities for LED technology and lighting applications with an interactive lighting display based on its advanced display technology.

About Cree, Inc.
Cree is a market-leading innovator and manufacturer of semiconductors and devices that enhance the value of solid-state lighting, power and communications products by significantly increasing their energy performance and efficiency. Key to Cree's market advantage is its world-class materials expertise in silicon carbide (SiC) and gallium nitride (GaN) for chips and packaged devices that can handle more power in a smaller space while producing less heat than other available technologies, materials and products.
Cree drives its increased performance technology into multiple applications, including exciting alternatives in brighter and more-tunable light for general illumination, backlighting for more-vivid displays, optimized power management for high-current, switch-mode power supplies and variable-speed motors, and more-effective wireless infrastructure for data and voice communications. Cree customers range from innovative lighting-fixture makers to defense-related federal agencies.
Cree's product families include blue and green LED chips, lighting LEDs, LED backlighting solutions, power-switching devices and radio-frequency/wireless devices. For additional product specifications please refer to www.cree.com.
This press release contains forward-looking statements involving risks and uncertainties, both known and unknown, that may cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated. Actual results may differ materially due to a number of factors, such as the risk we may encounter delays or other difficulties in ramping up production of our new products; the risk we may be unable to manufacture products with sufficiently low cost to offer them at competitive prices or with acceptable margins; the rapid development of new technology and competing products that may impair demand or render our products obsolete; the potential lack of customer acceptance for the products; variations in demand for Cree's products and its customers' products; and other factors discussed in Cree's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including its report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 25, 2006, and subsequent filings.
