New LEDs Offer Double the Lumen Density of
Competing Products
Cree, Inc. (Nasdaq: CREE) introduces the XLamp® XP-L2 LED,
delivering up to seven percent more lumens and 15 percent higher
lumens-per-watt (LPW) than the industry-leading XP-L LED.
Leveraging elements of Cree’s breakthrough SC5 Technology™
Platform, the high-power XP-L2 LED improves the lumen density,
voltage characteristics and reliability of the XP-L LED in the
proven XP package. The new XP-L2 LED provides an easy drop-in
upgrade to achieve higher system LPW for lighting manufacturers
with existing XP-L designs, eliminating redesign costs. It also
enables reduced size and cost for new designs.
“We like the XP-L2 LED because it is Cree innovation that we can
leverage immediately,” said Nathan Heiking, product manager, Kenall
Lighting. “The new XP-L2 LED improves upon the XP-L LED in the same
footprint, allowing us to quickly achieve higher system efficacy in
our existing XP designs without the burden of increased development
time and cost.”
The XLamp XP-L2 LED raises efficacy of warm white (3000K, 80
CRI) at 85°C up to 171 LPW. In addition, the XP-L2 LED is now
available in EasyWhite® 2-, 3- and 5-step color temperatures from
2700K to 6500K to enable luminaire color consistency. The XP-L2 LED
has LM-80 data available immediately, enabling luminaires using
XP-L2 to be qualified for ENERGY STAR® and DesignLights
Consortium®.
“Cree created a breakthrough performance class of high-power
LEDs with the XLamp® XP-L LED, and the new XP-L2 continues to
strengthen our performance advantage,” said Dave Emerson, vice
president and general manager for Cree LEDs. “The new XP-L2 LED
delivers twice the lumen output of other similar-size high-power
LEDs, enabling lighting manufacturers to improve the performance of
their lighting designs and reduce the size and cost of new designs
for applications, such as industrial and stadium lighting.”
