Cree makes energy-efficient lighting that can save businesses and consumers a lot of money.
In North Carolina, there's a company that makes energy-efficient lighting -- hired hundreds of new workers.
As efficient lighting technologies, like LEDs, go mainstream they become almost like a new source of green energy.
The arena's 12, 500 seats will be replaced in July and August and energy efficient lighting will be installed.
As the low-hanging fruit of energy efficient lighting gets picked, this kind of advanced analysis represents the higher branches.
We just have to help businesses and homeowners put in place the installation, the energy-efficient windows, the energy-efficient lighting.
Cree, Inc, maker of energy efficient lighting products, has been on an absolute tear for more than a year now.

Count among the movers into LED-based fixtures Austria's Zumtobel, with its long history in efficient lighting, or smaller pure-plays like England's Dialight.
The fast-food chain has also installed energy-efficient lighting at more than 6, 000 of its restaurants, decreasing energy use by approximately 510 kilowatt-hours.
Among the notable startups are SmartDeco, which makes foldable furniture from recyclable and sustainable resources, and ThinkLite, which aims to provide energy efficient lighting while taking a cut of the savings.
About once every month, the group schedules a large "operation" in which dozens of volunteers descend upon a local neighborhood to do massive group service, such as yard cleanup or a sweeping installation of energy-efficient lighting.
To mark the switchover the Crystal Palace transmitter, in south London, will be lit up on Wednesday night with 200, 000 watts of energy efficient lighting at a ceremony attended by Sir David Attenborough and DJ Chris Evans.
The power of energy efficient lighting is not just in the emerging hardware, but in the software and networking that can maximize that hardware to deliver widespread economic benefit and truly change the way lighting is managed today.
In other news, energy-efficient lighting advanced by leaps and bounds this week as we flipped the switch on IKEA's new solar-powered Solvinden lamp and we spotted a crystalline "Stardust" LED lamp made from sugar at the Milan Furniture Fair.
Second, I wanted to let you know that on June 13th, next Monday, the President will travel to Durham, North Carolina, to meet with the Jobs and Competitiveness Council at the corporate and U.S. manufacturing headquarters of Cree, a leading manufacturer of energy-efficient LED lighting.
The President is going to North Carolina on Monday to visit a facility that creates energy-efficient LED lighting in the United States that is one of those areas of the economy that we believe will help fuel economic growth in this country and create jobs.
Some improvements are fairly easy, such as switching to energy-efficient LED lighting in buildings and streetlights, or setting aside bike lanes and widening sidewalks to encourage alternatives to driving (although such moves aren't without political hazards, as a recent battle over bike lanes in New York shows).
The barrier to the widespread use of efficient LEDs for lighting has been the high upfront cost of LED fixtures and bulbs.
High cost has thus far limited widespread adoption of LED lighting, which is far more efficient than either incandescent or compact fluorescent lighting.
Software tools, in the form of centralized, Web-based management applications and platforms, are making buildings smarter and more energy-efficient by ensuring that lighting better matches the way we work today.
And deeper into the paper you find that they mean LEDs reducing electricity consumption for lighting, more efficient home heating, more insulation, better cars (perhaps electric) and so on.
And I know that with Shanghai, as I traveled and I saw all the cranes and all the new buildings that are going up, it's very important for us to start incorporating these new technologies so that each building is energy-efficient when it comes to lighting, when it comes to heating.
WHITEHOUSE: President Obama Holds Town Hall with Chinese Youth
To make this possible, Walgreens will equip the new store with more than 800 roof-top solar panels, two wind turbines, geothermal wells , LED lighting and energy-efficient building materials.
Helsinki Airport, for example, has cut its carbon dioxide emissions by nearly 2, 500 tonnes compared to 2011, by making heating, ventilation and lighting more energy-efficient, as well as using electrically-operated vehicles.
By using intelligent lighting systems that are energy efficient and minimize light pollution, the biosphere reserve was able to bring down its energy needs with the added bonus of clear, starlit skies.
The intersection of new energy efficiency regulations and the maturation of the technology mean LEDs, which are more efficient than even compact fluorescent bulbs, are the future of lighting.
Among them is a form of lighting technology which makes indoor daylight simulation possible using energy efficient LEDs.
FORBES: A Smart House at Drexel University in Philadelphia Is a Living Laboratory of Sustainability
The conventional energy-consuming systems in those buildings--lighting, heating, cooling--have become much more efficient.
The government is now considering paying firms for each kilowatt-hour saved through energy-saving measures such as low-energy lighting, and offering financial incentives to encourage people to buy efficient equipment for homes and businesses.
