New XHP50.2 LED Delivers Highest Lumen Density
in Its Class
Cree, Inc. (Nasdaq: CREE) introduces the XLamp® XHP50.2 LED,
which delivers up to seven percent more lumens and 10 percent
higher lumens-per-watt (LPW) than the first generation XHP50 LED in
the same 5.0 mm x 5.0 mm package. The new XHP50.2 LED enables
lighting manufacturers to quickly improve the performance of
existing XHP50 lighting designs. Capable of producing more than
2,500 lumens from its 6mm light emitting surface (LES), the XHP50.2
can reduce the size and cost of new designs and enable innovative
solutions to address applications ranging from spot to street
lighting.
“Arianna shares Cree’s vision that LEDs should not compromise
quality or performance and should provide better lighting
experiences in all aspects,” said Lorenzo Trevisanello, R&D
manager of Arianna. “Our goals are to achieve the best
cost-efficacy and versatility using the most efficient LEDs. Thanks
to the XHP50.2 LED’s lumen density and proven reliability, even at
high operating temperatures and drive currents, we are able to push
the performance and size boundaries of our products even
further.”
In addition to light output and efficacy enhancements, the
XHP50.2 LED provides improvements to optical uniformity through
secondary optics, enabling spot and portable lighting manufacturers
to deliver better lighting experiences. The XHP50.2 LED has LM-80
data available immediately, reducing the time required to receive
ENERGY STAR® and DesignLights Consortium® qualifications.
“Cree redefined High Power LED performance with the introduction
of the industry’s first Extreme High Power LEDs,” said Dave
Emerson, senior vice president and general manager for Cree LEDs.
“Delivering the industry’s best lumen density and reliability,
Cree’s XHP LED family allows our customers to achieve performance
levels not possible with other LEDs at the lowest total system cost
in a wide range of applications. With the launch of XHP50.2, Cree
continues to redefine what is possible with high performance
LEDs.”
Featuring Cree’s EasyWhite® technology, which provides the
industry’s best color consistency, the XLamp XHP50.2 LEDs are
available in 2700K-6500K with high CRI options. Product samples are
available now, and production quantities are available with
standard lead times. Please visit www.cree.com/xlamp/xhp50_2 to
