Comment: The coverage of the company sale which foundered in January 2016 because of US Govt opposition to the potential technology transfer to China (FT and NYT references, plus industry coverage such as [1]. etc.) goes some way beyond routine announcement coverage. That said, I'm not sure whether it confers notability on the particular firm, or can be said to be already adequately covered in Committee_on_Foreign_Investment_in_the_United_States#Notable_cases?

Keep. The article is definitely in need of attention and improvements. Lumileds is an important LED research and manufacturing company, both current and historical. As a former CEO of Cree mentions in ^[1], when Cree was a new player, Lumileds was already an established leader in the industry. I agree that a lot of the coverage out there is focused on the purchase and subsequent sale from Philips, but I think that's because it was a big deal. There is also coverage of Lumileds IP strategy ^[2], as well as its products in specialized sources such as ^[3]. Furthermore, Lumileds and/or Lumileds' LEDs such as the Luxeon are mentioned in several WP articles: Flashlight, Maglite, Light-emitting diode, Light-emitting diode physics, Gertrude Neumark, Apollo Global Management, Epistar, Bridge of Peace, Waterford Crystal, and Heat sink. (I added missing internal links in some of those). --Alan Islas (talk) 14:27, 31 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
