Cree smashes R&D record with 276 lpw LED
The III-nitride LED, grown on SiC (silicon carbide), beats the firm's previous record of 254 lumens per watt
Cree claims it has hit another industry first with a barrier-breaking 276 lumen-per-watt white R&D power LED.
This significant milestone exceeds Cree’s previous R&D industry record of 254 lumens per watt and demonstrates Cree’s continued commitment to innovate and accelerate the adoption of LED lighting.
Cree’s innovative SC³ Technology Platform, available today in Cree XLamp LEDs, enables this record-breaking R&D result. The SC³ Technology Platform features advancements in LED chip architecture and phosphor and boasts a new package design to deliver the most advanced LED components in the industry.
Cree reports that the LED efficacy was measured at 276 lumens per watt, at a correlated colour temperature of 4401 K and 350 mA.
“The core of the Cree R&D culture is a relentless focus on innovation that ultimately drives LED adoption,” says John Edmond, Cree co-founder and director of advanced optoelectronics. “The innovation from our labs is the foundation for our lighting-class XLamp LEDs. Higher performance LEDs can enable new and better LED-based applications and drive down the solution cost of LED designs.”
