Cree Inc. (Raleigh, NC) is announcing that Indian Wells, CA, which is home to several resorts and hosts high-profile golf and tennis events, has joined the LED City® initiative, an international program that promotes LED-lighting deployment.

The city has converted much of the lighting in its city hall, the emergency operations center and the public-works maintenance facility to LED lighting. All circular recessed lighting in the buildings was converted to the Cree LR6 LED light, resulting in a 80% energy-consumption reduction. The city plans to evaluate LED lighting for other municipal-lighting applications to further increase its energy savings.
