What happened to Cree? « on: Today at 04:02:57 PM » Author: Lightingeye60
It seems that Cree (Wolfspeed), once a major manufacturer of LED street lighting diodes, and industrial LED lighting solutions, filed for Bankruptcy in 2025, and their residential decision was sold.

I was shocked and pleased to find Cree bulbs sold in stores again, but I found out they are essentially just rebranded Feit lamps (and Feit isn’t exactly known for making the best products).

It seems that Lowe’s is now slowly phasing out the sale of GE stuff and seeing more of the Feit Cree lamps.

Also, very weird to find fluorescent and CFL lamps branded under Cree. Cree used to be a leading LED manufacturer, and back in the day, they popularized the LED market, though their bulbs were pretty expensive back when they sold the 1 packs at Home Depot. Now, Cree lamps are essentially just a Feit lamps with a Cree logo on it.
