Citi? Vero? Is this the end of Cree?

these are the times we live in, what would you do?

id buy whatever chips i needed for the next 6-12 mos and reevaluate my options next time i need them, it will be a completely different market in that time

its not that cree is lagging in R and D but it seems they are killing it with their current generation and im sure they are just milking it. the fact that there are other options is a great thing for all of us in the long run as right now were matching HPS efficiency @ $0.15/watt for chips and maybe$ 0.40-0.50/W overall

imagine a year or two from now. hids will be illegal

 

[Shugglet]

Its good to have multiple good options.

 

[JorgeGonzales]

Seriously, stop overthinking it. If I were you I'd buy the Cree and sleep better at night.

All it means to me is good competition and improvement. No matter who does it.

This is what spurs innovation and keeps everyone on their toes. This is really good for us as Cree can no longer rest on its Laurels. Sad really as I hear Cree has some internal stuff going on that has them in a weird spot.

kinda explains a lot. we were supposed to have new bins 2 quarters ago and a new series announced last month and neither came to fruition

Too be fair, Vero's were around longer than the Cree cob's and the bridgelux rs versions even longer in a cob format.

Cree makes great mono dies as well. 730 xp-e anyone 660nm, my preferred 630nm? the list goes on I guess...

Was recently in Dubai..... human trafficking or slavery is still going strong, especially Asian and eastern euro women/girls

In fairness, I read a lot of the girls in Dubai are highly paid sex workers. I mean they were lied to and practically kidnapped, but at least they are paid.

That's terrible, of course, but do you have any reason to accuse Mars specifically of human trafficking, or did you just see young Asian girls in that video and make a quick assumption?
