CXB1520 First to Deliver Over 6,000 lumens in 9 mm LES Enabling Better Light Experiences
Cree, Inc. continues to break performance barriers with the introduction of Cree® XLamp®CXB1310 and CXB1520 High Density LED arrays. Incorporating elements of Cree's SC5 Technology™ Platform, the new LEDs deliver the highest lumen density at 6mm and 9 mm - the most lumens in the industry for their LES [light emitting surface] sizes. The advancement enables radically new and differentiated LED lighting form factors for applications like track lights, lamps and downlights. For example, the CXB1520 LED packs the lumen output of seven 60-watt replacement lamps into an area much smaller than a dime, allowing lighting manufacturers to put more light where it is intended at a lower system cost.
The high performance of the CXA2 High Density LED arrays allow lighting manufacturers to reduce thermal, mechanical and optical costs at the system level. For example, when combined with a 74 mm diameter optic, the 3000K, 80 CRI CXB1520 High Density LED array delivers over 50,000 candela in a 10-degree beam while drawing only 40 watts. This high lumen density allows lighting manufacturers to deliver the performance of a 70 W ceramic metal halide (CMH) PAR38 lamp through a much smaller PAR20-size optic using 43 percent less power. The CXB1310 High Density LED array delivers up to 3,200 lumens in a 6 mm LES, allowing similar reductions in size and power from traditional light sources.
Offering the industry’s best color consistency for designs that use only one LED, Cree XLamp CXA2 High Density LED arrays are characterized and binned at 85 °C, available in 2-, 3- and 5-step ® color temperatures (2700K – 6500K), and CRI options of 70, 80 and 90. The CXB1310 and CXB1520 LEDs have LM-80 long-term test data available immediately, delivering reported L90 lifetime projections of at least 36,300 hours at 85 °C and 105 °C.
The CXA2 High Density LED arrays are available in the same form factor as the CXA LED arrays, allowing the use of existing optics, holders and drivers. The CXA2 High Density LED arrays are also UL-recognized and feature a level 4 rating. Product samples are available now, and production quantities are available with standard lead times.
