Cree LED Partners with IDC Componentes and Ilumiled to Brighten Downtown Querétaro Mexico

Cree LED announced the city of Santiago de Que rétaro in central Mexico has tapped IDC Componentes (IDC2) and Ilumiled to upgrade all of its downtown lighting—a project that will replace 1600 sodium-based lamps with LED fixtures. Authorized by the state and municipal governments, the upgrade maintains the downtown area’s light color and softness while improving the light uniformity and cutting power consumption by more than half over the next five to 10 years.

Cree LED’s JR5050C E Class LEDs, utilizing a 2200K CCT, were selected to preserve the warm ambiance of the original sodium lamps while delivering higher light output. The new fixtures incorporate Sciolux LED modules from IDC2, which are projected to reduce power consumption by 58% over the next decade, resulting in annual energy savings of approximately $80,000 USD.
