Company officials attibuted the upswing to many things, including double-digit growth in Crees XLamps and an increase in orders for high-brightness LEDs due to the increased demand in video screen production for China (billboards, stadium screens).
The demand for the XLamp has been driven by a combination of portable architectural lighting and vehicle lighting, but general lighting--indoor, outdoor, commercial--has been growing the fastest over the past couple of quarters, said Chuck Swoboda, Cree CEO and Chairman.
Id be surprised if the other companies in the high-powered LED business are not seeing similar positive numbers, added Swoboda.
