Cree,announces commercial availability of XLamp XB-D color LEDs and XLamp XM-L multi-color LEDs.The high performance color LEDs provide lighting manufacturers with discrete and multi-color LED options to more cost-effectively address a wider spectrum of applications such as architectural,vehicle and display lighting.
Cree XLamp XB-D color LEDs extend the double lumens-per-dollar performance of the XB package to color LEDs,delivering up to 40 percent higher maximum light output than XP-E color LEDs.The combination of performance and the small size of XB-D color LEDs enable better color mixing and lower system cost through fewer LEDs.Now available in color as well as existing white color temperatures ranging from 2700K to 6200K,customers can support a full range of color in the single XB footprint.
Cree XLamp XM-L color LEDs are the brightest and smallest multi-colored LED of its power class,delivering red,green,royal blue and white in one LED at twice the lumens-per-dollar of the MC-E color LED.The XM-L color LED is 60 percent smaller than the MC-E LED,reducing the distance between LED die,to create a small optical source for excellent optical control,efficient color mixing and simplified design.
We are excited that Cree is offering a higher performance multi-color LED,said Michael Johnson,vice president of engineering,The Black Tank.The smaller and brighter XM-L color LED allows us to improve system performance and lower system cost.
XLamp XB-D color LEDs deliver up to 1416 mW for royal blue,92 lumens for blue,198 lumens for green,210 lumens for red and 261 lumens for red-orange,all at 1A in the 2.45mm x 2.45mm footprint.
XLamp XM-L color LEDs deliver up to 89 lumens for royal blue,214 lumens for green,229 lumens for red and 272 lumens for white at 1A in the 5mm x 5mm footprint.
Cree XLamp XB-D and XM-L color LED samples are available now and production quantities are available with standard lead times.
