XLamp® XT-E White Designed to Accelerate LED Adoption and Lower System Cost
Cree, Inc. announced a breakthrough in LED technology that completely redefines the lighting industry and erases old assumptions about up-front LED cost and performance. The Cree XLamp® XT-E White LED delivers twice the lumens-per-dollar of other LEDs and features the highest performance and efficacy in the industry. Based on a new silicon carbide technology platform, the XT-E LED and the recently released XB-D LED represent a dramatic transformation in LED price-performance. Cree’s revolutionary new platform addresses the largest obstacle to mass LED lighting adoption, initial cost, and enables LED lighting systems to replace their inefficient ancestors.
The XT-E LED more than doubles the lumens per watt of the XLamp XP-E LED family – providing up to 148 LPW at 85°C (or up to 162 LPW at 25°C) at 350mA. The XT-E LED delivers exceptional performance in the popular 3.45mm × 3.45mm XP footprint and can be used for almost all lighting applications. By leveraging the XP footprint, customers can easily incorporate the XT-E LED in existing XP LED designs to shorten the LED fixture design cycle and improve customer time-to-market.
Additionally, since the XT-E White LED is a successor product to XP-E High Efficiency LED, the application for ENERGY STAR® qualification requires only 3000 hours of XT–E LED LM-80 data, instead of the normal 6000 hours.
The XT-E White LED delivers up to 148 lumens and 148 lumens per watt in cool white (6000 K) or up to 114 lumens and 114 lumens per watt in warm white (3000 K), both at 350 mA, 85°C.
Samples are available immediately and production volumes are available with standard lead times.
