Cree Introduces High-Voltage Lighting-Class LEDs
With the same footprint and performance as the XLamp MX-6 and MX-3 LEDs, the MX-6S and MX-3S LEDs can be used to produce smaller more-efficient power supplies and thermal systems.
Cree, a market leader in LED lighting, is extending its lighting-class high-voltage LED portfolio with the commercial availability of new XLamp MX-6S and MX-3S LEDs.
With the same footprint and high-quality performance as the XLamp MX-6 and MX-3 LEDs, the MX-6S and MX-3S LEDs offer new high-voltage configurations designed for space-constrained LED lamps and bulbs. For these applications, high-voltage LEDs can be used to achieve smaller, more-efficient power supplies and thermal systems.
The XLamp MX-6S LED delivers luminous flux of up to 139 lumens at 60 mA/20 V in 6000 K and 114 lumens in 3000 K. The XLamp MX-3S LED provides up to 122 lumens at 115 mA/10.7 V in 6000 K and 100 lumens in 3000 K. The MX series LEDs deliver lighting-class performance for high-voltage LEDs, including high reliability, high efficacy and industry-leading color consistency.
“These new XLamp LED products can enable LED lamp manufacturers to create more-efficient and cost-effective designs in applications such as A-19-bulbs or GU10 lamps,” said Paul Thieken, Cree director of marketing, LED components. “With the addition of these products, Cree continues to deliver the industry’s highest performance, application-optimized LED components to the lighting-design community.”
XLamp MX-6S and MX-3S LEDs are available now in production quantities with standard lead times.
Cree is setting the stage to obsolete the incandescent light bulb through the use of energy-efficient, environmentally friendly LED lighting. Cree is a market-leading innovator of lighting-class LEDs, LED lighting, and semiconductor solutions for wireless and power applications.
Cree’s product families include LED fixtures and bulbs, blue and green LED chips, high-brightness LEDs, lighting-class power LEDs, power-switching devices and radio-frequency/wireless devices. Cree solutions are driving improvements in applications such as general illumination, backlighting, electronic signs and signals, variable-speed motors, and wireless communications.
