Cree introduces new High Intensity LED

Single-die LED delivers over 100,000 candela at 10W

Cree has announced the new XLamp XP-L High Intensity LED, which it claims is the first single-die LED to deliver over 100,000 candela with a 50mm diameter optic at 10W.

Built on Cree's SC5 Technology Platform, the XP-L High Intensity LED is said to deliver more than double the candelas of the industry's previous highest performing single-die XP-L LED through the same optic.

Leveraging the existing 3.45 mm x 3.45 mm XP-L package, the new high intensity LEDs allow lighting manufacturers to quickly boost performance, reduce size and lower system cost for applications such as track, outdoor and stadium lighting.

The XLamp XP-L High Intensity LED delivers candela at 185 lumens per watt at one watt. The new High Intensity LED offers a drop-in ready upgrade for XP-based luminaire designs, enabling manufacturers to achieve higher luminous intensity with minimal redesign to accelerate time to market.

"The XP-L High Intensity LED looks like a great option for some of our upcoming lights," said Jon Quenzer, electrical engineer, Trek. "The XP-L High Intensity LED allows us to boost the efficacy and intensity of our XP-G2 LED based designs without changing optics or drivers."

Dave Emerson, vice president and general manager for Cree LEDs said: "The XP-L High Intensity LED will allow lighting designers to fundamentally change the way they think about using LEDs in high intensity lighting and enable lighting manufacturers to reach performance levels previously not possible."

Characterised and binned at 1050mA, 85degC, the XP-L High Intensity LED is available in up to 90 CRI and colour temperatures ranging from 2700 K to 8300 K. 6,000 hours of LM-80 long-term testing data is available for the XP-L High Intensity LED for lighting manufacturers seeking ENERGY STAR qualification.
