Cree Inc of Durham, NC, USA has announced the commercial availability of its new XLamp XP-E2 color LEDs, in red, red-orange, amber, green, blue and royal blue colors. Delivering up to 88% higher maximum light output compared to alternative high-power color LEDs, it is claimed, they enable lighting manufacturers to more cost-effectively address a wide range of applications, such as architectural, vehicle and display lighting.
Fabricated on Cree’s SC3 Technology next-generation LED platform, the new XP-E2 color LEDs deliver higher lumens-per-watt and lumens-per-dollar than the original XP-E color LEDs, lowering system costs for existing XP-E color designs. The XP-E2 color LEDs leverage the same XP footprint (3.45mm x 3.45mm) and are optically compatible with the original XP-E LED, providing drop-in-ready performance enhancements to shorten design cycle and improve customer time to market.
“The brighter XP-E2 color LEDs enable Lumenpulse to continue to provide innovative, high-performance LED lighting systems,” comments Greg Campbell, executive VP & chief technology officer Lumenpulse of Montreal, Canada.
XLamp XP-E2 color LEDs deliver up to 1409mW for royal blue, 109 lumens for blue, 253 lumens for green, 203 lumens for amber, 193 lumens for red-orange and 155 lumens for red, all at maximum drive currents in the 3.45mm x 3.45mm footprint.
Samples are available now, and production quantities are available with standard lead times.
