Cree Introduces High Intensity Colour LEDs

New XLamp XQ-E offers high performance and small size

Cree has introduced XLamp XQ-E High Intensity LEDs, claimed to be the first family of colour LEDs optimised for optical performance. This drop-in upgrade for XQ-E High Density designs enables lighting manufacturers to double the candela performance with minimal redesign. 

The new LEDs are said to use XQ-E's proven optical symmetry and consistency across all colours to improve colour mixing and simplify the production process for lighting manufacturers. Built on Cree's SC5 technology, the new high intensity LEDs are thought to be the smallest building block available for colour LED designs allowing lighting manufacturers to quickly boost performance and reduce size for directional applications such as track and architectural lighting.

 "Cree continues to drive innovation within the solid state lighting market by truly listening to the customer and providing solutions like the XQ-E High Intensity LED. At Lumenpulse, candela is the name of the game, and we want to put as much light as possible on the surface we are illuminating, as efficiently as possible," said Greg Campbell, senior VP and CTO at Lumenpulse. "The XQ-E High Intensity is a perfect tool in our toolkit to maximise candela output for our innovative products."

Available in white, red, red-orange, PC amber, green, blue and royal blue, the XQ-E High Intensity LED features Cree's new primary optic design that reduces optical source size by more than 50 percent to deliver optical control.

"We are excited that Cree is extending its high intensity class of performance to the XQ family," said Antonio Di Gangi, CEO, DGA. "The combination of high lumen output, innovative primary optic and the tiny footprint of the XQ-E High Intensity LEDs enables us to create compact luminaires that deliver a lot of punch."

The XQ-E High Intensity white is available in colour temperatures ranging from 2700K to 6200K and CRI options of 70, 80 and 90.
