Reliability, Highest Efficacy and New Premium Colors
Cree, Inc. (Nasdaq: CREE) announces enhancements to its
industry-leading XLamp® CXA2 family of chip-on-board (COB) LEDs,
including new premium color options, higher light output levels and
the longest lifetimes published for this type of LED. The premium
color quality options include high fidelity (98 CRI) and specialty
color points for the 9 to 19 mm LES sizes with up to 50 percent
higher efficacy than LEDs of similar sizes and light quality. These
enhancements to the CXA2 family LEDs give Cree’s customers the
ability to upgrade the performance of existing designs and to sell
their products into lighting applications where color quality is
important, such as museum, retail and medical lighting.

“The leading efficacy and excellent reliability of Cree’s CXA2
LEDs allow us to create a complete portfolio of high quality,
energy efficient LED track lights,” said Eric Lin, General Manager,
Westport International. “With the new premium colors, the CXA2
family will allow us to bring these same advantages to more
customers and applications while still leveraging the same,
easy-to-use platform.”
The CXA2 Standard Density LEDs now deliver up to 10 percent
higher light output levels across all CRIs and light emitting
surface (LES) sizes, providing the highest COB LED efficacy for all
applications. Further demonstrating Cree’s leadership in
reliability and lumen maintenance, the CXA2 LEDs are the only COB
LEDs in the industry to have more than 11,000 hours of LM-80 data
available. Based on this data, the CXA2 LEDs provide L90 lifetimes
well beyond 60,000 hours, even at extreme 105°C test
conditions.
“With these enhancements to the CXA2 family, Cree continues to
set the benchmark for high-power LEDs through constant focus on
improvement,” said Dave Emerson, Cree LEDs senior vice president
and general manager. “With the industry’s best lifetime and the new
premium color offerings, we’re giving lighting manufacturers the
ability to deliver better light and industry-leading performance to
more applications than ever before.”
