Cree Opens Design Possibilities for Architectural Lighting with New CLQ6A LED
July 19 2017 - 9:00AM
Business Wire
Cree (Nasdaq: CREE) expands its leading family of Architectural
Lighting Class LEDs with the new CLQ6A RGBW (red, green, blue and
white) LED. The first individually addressable one-watt RGBW LED in
its class, the CLQ6A LED unlocks new designs that were previously
not possible. The four-in-one LED provides a single point source
for excellent optical control, efficient color mixing and
simplified design, enabling lighting manufacturers to offer
beautiful and differentiated architectural lighting.
“Architectural lighting is one of the most challenging
applications because of the scale, visibility and complexity of the
installations. This is why we trust our brand with Cree® LEDs,”
said Li Yong Tao, R&D Director at Grand Canyon LED Lighting
Systems Co, Ltd. “Cree® LEDs deliver superior luminous flux output,
rich color options and excellent color consistency that are perfect
for architectural lighting. Cree’s high reliability enables us to
offer products that perform well even in harsh outdoor
conditions.”
Delivering 8.2 lumens for Blue, 30 lumens for Green, 14 lumens
for Red and 25 lumens for White at 100 mA in a 5 x 5.2 mm package,
the CLQ6A LED improves brightness by seven times over similar 4:1
LEDs that have not been optimized for architectural lighting. Cree
is also extending its CLX6F family with a PC Amber option that
delivers 23 lumens at 105 mA in a 3.4 mm x 3.5 mm package. These
new LEDs provide unique design options and expand Cree’s portfolio
of LEDs for architectural lighting, which includes the high-power
XLamp® XQ-A, XQ-E, XP-E2 and XM-L™ Color LEDs.
“Cree continues to develop new application-optimized LEDs that
provide our customers with the best options to meet their design
requirements,” said Dave Emerson, Cree LEDs senior vice president
and general manager. “Previously, lighting manufacturers only had
high and low power LEDs to choose from for these color options.
With the new CLQ6A and CLX6F LEDs, we are expanding the industry’s
best portfolio of LEDs for architectural lighting with the light
output and reliability innovations expected from Cree to fill the
performance gap in the market and meet customers’ needs.”
Product samples of the CLQ6A and CLX6F LEDs are available now
with standard lead times. Please visit
