Cree: Illuminating the Future of LED Technology
11 June, 2025
The lighting industry has significantly transformed over the last few decades, with light-emitting diodes (LEDs) emerging as the leading technology for energy-efficient illumination. As a pioneer in this field, Cree LED has been instrumental in shaping the LED landscape. With the recent announcement of a significant provider in the industry’s exit from the market, Cree LED is now poised to solidify its position as the foremost supplier of LED technology, driving innovation and performance like never before.
We started the LED lighting revolution—and we never stopped. This mantra encapsulates Cree LED’s unwavering commitment to innovation and excellence. With over 4,000 LED patents to our name, we have consistently pushed the boundaries of what is possible with LED technology. Our application-optimised products and expert design assistance ensure that our customers receive the best possible performance for their specific needs.
In Southern Africa, Altron Arrow proudly serves as the OEM distributor for Cree LED, ensuring businesses and industries have easy access to these world-class, energy-efficient lighting solutions. As Cree LED continues to lead the global LED market, Altron Arrow is your trusted partner for bringing these innovations to life.
A Legacy of Innovation
Cree LED’s journey began with a vision to revolutionise the lighting industry. From the outset, we have focused on developing high-quality, reliable, and energy-efficient LED solutions for a wide range of applications. Our commitment to quality is reflected in our extensive portfolio, which spans everything from residential lighting to industrial applications.
With recent changes to the LED market, Cree LED has a significant opportunity to further establish its leadership position. As one of the few remaining significant players in the industry, we are uniquely positioned to capitalise on this shift. This transition is not merely about filling a void but an opportunity to lead the industry into a new era of innovation and growth.
Cree LED is committed to enhancing our product offerings and expanding our market reach as we move forward. We understand the importance of staying ahead of the curve, and our scalable architectures enable us to implement “drop-in” upgrades seamlessly. Our customers can easily integrate new technologies into their existing systems without complete redesigns, ultimately saving time and resources
Commitment to Sustainability
The importance of LED technology in addressing climate change cannot be overstated. As governments and organisations worldwide strive to reduce their environmental impact, the demand for energy-efficient lighting solutions continues to grow. Cree LED is committed to leading this charge by delivering innovative products that prioritise sustainability without compromising on performance.
Our LEDs consume significantly less energy than traditional lighting solutions, contributing to reduced carbon emissions and lower energy costs for consumers. By providing long-lasting and eco-friendly lighting solutions, we are meeting the demands of today’s market and playing our part in creating a more sustainable future.
Customer-Centric Approach
At Cree LED, we believe that our success is intrinsically linked to the success of our customers. Our customer-centric approach drives everything we do, from product development to support services. We work closely with our clients to understand their specific needs and provide tailored solutions that deliver real value.

Through our trusted partnership with Altron Arrow, we bring the same level of commitment and excellence to Southern Africa, ensuring that customers in the region benefit from the latest Cree LED innovations.
Imagine a World Without LEDs
To truly appreciate the significance of Cree LED’s contributions to the lighting industry, one must consider the alternative—a world without LED technology. Imagine streets dimly lit by inefficient incandescent bulbs, homes illuminated by flickering fluorescent lights, and workplaces burdened by high energy bills. The absence of LEDs would not only impact the quality of light we enjoy daily but also hinder efforts towards sustainability and energy conservation.
Cree LED has ensured that such a world never materialises. By spearheading the LED lighting revolution, we have provided energy-efficient, long-lasting, and eco-friendly lighting solutions for decades. Our continued innovation ensures that we remain at the forefront of the industry, consistently pushing the boundaries of what is possible with LED technology.
