#1 What do their bulbs sell for?
Do Home Depot, Loews, Target and Walmart plan to stock them?

#2 CREE primarily sells to equipment manufacturers, not end consumers. At least they did when I used to track them.

CREE has purchased a manufacturing company (COTCO in Hong Kong). Speculation is that they are reconfiguring for production of retail products but it is speculation at this point.

CREE Stock is up 7% as of a few minutes ago. Maybe a bunch of brokers on Wall Street read Rantburg.

#4 problem for CREE has been production volume. THeir process apparently has had yeild issues in the past, meaning its hard to make those 100-lum/w LEDs in any quantity with quality (i.e. you run a batch of 1000, and you only get 17 successful LEDs out of it).
