CMA LED Arrays Deliver Best-in-Class Lumen
Output, Efficacy and Reliability
Cree, Inc. (Nasdaq: CREE) announces a new family of XLamp® CMA
High Current LED Arrays that provide the industry’s best lumen
density and efficacy for metal-based chip-on-board (COB) LEDs.
Optimized for operation at high drive currents, the CMA LEDs
deliver up to 2 ½ times the lumen density of Cree’s Standard
Density CXA2 LEDs. The new CMA LEDs are compatible with the
existing ecosystem of holders and optics for the CXA2 LED family,
enabling lighting manufacturers to boost the lumen output of their
products with minimal redesign.

“Cree is an outstanding partner for LED lighting because of
their customer-focused innovation,” said Andrea Gallucci, head of
optics & electronics at Artemide. “Since the new High Current
CMA LED Arrays are compatible with the Standard Density CXA2 LED
family, we can easily deliver more visual impact while maintaining
the same optics options and color quality choices that our
customers are looking for. These new CMA LEDs will speed up the
pace of performance enhancements within both our iconic and
innovative luminaire designs.”
The CMA LED Arrays feature a new innovative metal COB technology
that delivers higher reliability than competing metal COBs. In
addition, the CMA LEDs can be mounted directly to the heat sink,
which eliminates the need for holders, simplifies the luminaire
manufacturing process and reduces system cost.
“Through relentless innovation, our scientists achieved
fundamental technology breakthroughs that significantly improve
both the light output and the lumen maintenance of our new CMA LEDs
over currently available metal-based COB LEDs,” said Dave Emerson,
Cree LEDs executive vice president and general manager. “Only Cree
delivers excellent lumen density and reliability that customers
demand through both ceramic and metal COB technologies.”
The CMA LED family includes five LEDs with light emitting
surface (LES) sizes ranging from nine to 23 mm to address a wide
variety of applications. Featuring Cree’s EasyWhite® bins, the
XLamp CMA LED arrays are available in 2700K-6500K CCTs with
standard color options of 70, 80 and 90 CRI and premium color
options that include high fidelity (98 CRI) and specialty color
points. Product samples are available now, and production
quantities are available with standard lead times. Please visit
