Cree introduces higher brightness and higher performance single-chip LED devices

Cree introduced the industry's higher brightness and higher performance single-chip LED devices. The new XLamp® XM-L2 LED has a luminous efficacy of 186 lm/W, which is a landmark for accelerating the popularity of LED lighting.

On December 12, 2012, Cree Inc. (Nasdaq: CREE) introduced the commercial XLamp® XM-L2 LED, which once again set a milestone in LED industry performance. The new XLamp® XM-L2 LED achieves a luminous efficiency of 186 lm/W at 350 mA and 25°C, achieving the performance levels that were only achieved in the laboratory light effects three years ago. Based on Cree's revolutionary SC3 TechnologyTM next-generation platform, the new XLamp® XM-L2 LED achieves doubling value (lm/$) and 20% higher light efficiency compared to the previous-generation XLamp® XM-L product, helping to help the luminaire Manufacturers use a smaller number of LED devices to get better lighting systems and lower costs.

The new XLamp® XM-L2 LED is optimized for ultra-high lumen applications, including indoor lighting, high bay lights, and outdoor lighting. The high-performance XLamp® XM-L2 LED is compatible with the previous-generation XLamp® XM-L LED design and uses the same XM series package size (5 mm x 5 mm), enabling customers to easily integrate the XLamp® XM-L2 LED into the Some XM LEDs are designed to shorten the luminaire design cycle and speed time-to-market.

Jeff Rogers, vice president of sales and marketing at Musco Sports Lighting, said: “We are pleased to see Cree’s introduction of the XLamp® XM-L2 LED, which improves the performance of the XM series. XLamp® XM-L2 can help us improve existing XLamp® XM -L design performance without changing the optical design or drive."

The XLamp® XM-L2 LED achieves an effective combination of high light efficiency and high drive current, achieving an extremely high light output of 1198 lm at 3A and 25°C (light efficiency up to 116 lm/W). The XLamp® XM-L2 LED is the eighth product based on the Creo SC3 technology platform. The innovative technology platform uses Cree's advanced silicon carbide (SiC) technology to demonstrate superior features in LED chip structure and fluorescence conversion, and adopts the latest packaging technology matched to provide the industry with the most advanced LED devices. .

Steve Walczak, Director of Engineering at Sternberg Lighting, said: “Each XLamp® XM-L2 LED can effectively provide hundreds of lumens of light output, helping us to significantly reduce the use of LED devices in our designs. Fewer LEDs The number of devices allows us to simplify design and production, ultimately reducing system costs for our end customers without sacrificing light output and light quality.”

At 85°C, the XLamp® XM-L2 LED offers a choice of 2700K to 6200K color temperatures with a minimum color rendering index of 80, 85, and 90 options. At the same time, since the XLamp® XM-L2 LED is a follow-up upgrade to the XLamp® XM-L LED, only 3,000 hours of XLamp® XM-L2 LED LM-80 data is required for the US ENERGY STAR® certification application. Instead of the usual 6,000-hour test. The XLamp® XM-L2 LED has also been UL listed and rated 4th.
