Cree, Inc. (Nasdaq: CREE) introduces the XLamp® XHP70.2 LED, the
second generation of the highest output Extreme High Power LED,
which delivers up to 9 percent more lumens and 18 percent higher
lumens-per-watt (LPW) than the first generation XHP70 LED. The
XHP70.2 LED provides up to 58 percent higher lumen density than the
closest competitor LED of the same size, enabling smaller
luminaires and better optical control for high-lumen lighting
applications than ever before.

“We selected Cree’s first generation XHP70 LED as the best light
source for large areas, including sporting and industrial
facilities, because it enabled us to create smaller and more
innovative LED lighting systems with unprecedented output and
efficacy,” said Ing. Flavio Sangiorgio, R&D Director at Fael
Luce. “The improved efficacy of the next generation XHP70.2 LED
lets us easily upgrade our products to maintain performance
leadership without any major redesign.”
The XHP70.2 LED features the same 7.0 mm x 7.0 mm footprint as
the previous generation and provides an easy drop-in upgrade for
customers with existing XHP70 designs. In addition to light output
and efficacy enhancements, the XHP70.2 LED improves optical
uniformity through secondary optics, enabling lighting
manufacturers to deliver better lighting performance. The XHP70.2
LED has LM-80 data available immediately, reducing the time
required to receive ENERGY STAR® and DesignLights Consortium®
qualifications.
“Unlike some companies, Cree continues to invest in improving
light output, efficacy and reliability of our Extreme High Power
LEDs to enable our customers to quickly improve their existing
designs and create innovative new products,” said Dave Emerson,
Cree LEDs senior vice president and general manager. “Our XHP LEDs
highlight the unique advantages of Cree’s ceramic high power LED
technology in reducing the cost and improving the performance of
systems where extreme light output is required.”
Featuring Cree’s EasyWhite® technology, which provides the
industry’s best color consistency, the XLamp XHP70.2 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/xhp70_2 to
