If you are only interested in LED lights as a consumer, you might have wondered what Cree and Edison mean in the names of various lights. These two are obviously brand names we represent particularly to indicate the quality of the light, as these two names are two of the best quality manufacturers of LEDs and LED chips in the world.

There are three levels of getting these quality lights in your home. First of all, you can buy LED light bulbs  manufactured by these companies, but in most cases you will have to pay a really high price for the high qualities they provide. For a somewhat lower price you can get some lights which are manufactured by other companies, but contain diodes manufactured by these companies (originally packed LEDs). The driving force within the LEDs however is actually the driving chip. Cree provides such a brilliant quality driving chips, that even the competitor Edison Taiwan company uses Cree chips for their best quality light bulbs. This shows very well how exclusive quality Cree chips can guarantee. Those light bulbs – let them be manufactured by well-known brands or smaller companies from the Far East – the quality of the light bulb will be very good.

LED chips guarantee that the light will have a great brilliance and long lifespan. Cree chip driven LED light bulbs can have almost twice as long lifespan as other, lower quality light bulbs, and they maintain their brilliance much longer, as well as their colour temperature. Edison chips have the established place of second best on the market. Bulbs with Edison chips come at a more easily affordable price, but still a reliable circuit design, good current regulation and less heat emitted by the driver.This results in a bright light with a bulb of 25000 – 30000 hours life span at least. Edison is also original equipment manufacturer for Philips and Osram,two major, well known LED light bulb producers.

We can conclude that though the quality of substances used to create LEDs are also important, it is the driving chip, which assures the most significant qualities of LED lights. If you can check the driver chip in the light you are buying, going for the cheaper solutions of far-east manufacturers becomes a much affordable choice.
