Cree Inc. shifted focus from lighting, selling its LED component business to SMART Global Holdings (SGH) in 2021 and rebranding as Wolfspeed; separately, its lighting fixture business (Cree Lighting) was sold to IDEAL INDUSTRIES in 2019, and even more recently, Feit Electric acquired Cree Lighting's residential portfolio in late 2025, dividing the brand across different companies. So, you can still find "Cree" bulbs, but they are made by Feit Electric for home use, while the core LED chips and commercial fixtures are under different ownership.
Here's a breakdown of what happened:
Cree, Inc. Splits & Rebrands:
In 2021, the original Cree, Inc. sold its LED component business (the actual LED chips) to SMART Global Holdings (SGH) and changed its name to Wolfspeed, focusing on Silicon Carbide (SiC) and Gallium Nitride (GaN) semiconductors for power applications.
In 2019, Cree had already sold its LED lighting fixture business (like streetlights and commercial fixtures) to IDEAL INDUSTRIES, Inc.
The "Cree" Brand Name Divides:
Cree LED (Components): Now a subsidiary of SGH, focusing on LED chips.
Cree Lighting (Commercial): Continues under IDEAL INDUSTRIES, making fixtures.
Cree Lighting Home (Residential): In late 2025, Feit Electric quietly acquired the residential lamp part of the brand, now marketed as "Cree Lighting – A Brand of Feit Electric".
In essence: The company that started it all, Cree, Inc., moved away from general lighting to focus on advanced semiconductors (Wolfspeed), while the familiar Cree lighting products are now made by other companies (Feit Electric for home bulbs, Ideal Industries for commercial).
Just the other day moved one of my OG Cree bulbs (when they first hit the scene for $10 each, and you had to source the high CRI ones from Home Depots in CA only) with the honking heatsink to another lamp - it's still going strong.
Today they generate all this heat in small packages that the driver boards fail in them.

At $2.50 per bulb, these are cost competitive with most everything else. It doesn't seem like they are trying to be high end any longer.

Cree E26 base light bulbs suck. They don't last, I've thrown out many < 4 yrs.
