New Cree XLamp MT-G2 LEDs Showcase the Advantage of the SC³ Technology Platform

“The MT-G2 LED truly pushes the envelope of what’s possible, redefining lumen levels and efficacy while delivering color consistency and superior optical control,” said Richard Turner, R & D director at Havells Sylvania. “Combined with the small footprint and uniform emitting surface, the MT-G2 is an especially attractive device to further grow our leading position in professional-quality LED retrofit lamps.”

Featuring Cree® EasyWhite Technology, the MT-G2 LED delivers up to 2100 lumens in warm white (3000K) at 25 watts, 85°C and provides the industry’s best color consistency, with superior optical control. The new, brighter MT-G2 LED shares the same footprint as the original MT-G LED, providing customers a seamless upgrade path to shorten the LED luminaire and retrofit lamp design cycle and improve customer time-to-market. The MT-G2 LED is designed to be used as a single component in an LED design to better emulate the filament appearance of incumbent lighting products and simplify design and manufacturing.

“Innovation in performance and optimization of LEDs to a variety of applications are critical to driving LED adoption,” said Mike Watson, Cree senior marketing director, LED components. “The new MT-G2 LEDs enable true halogen performance across a wide range of single source lighting applications and provide the industry’s best color consistency. Cree’s continued breakthrough in high lumen output demonstrates the advantages delivered by leveraging the SC³ Technology Platform.”

The MT-G2 LED is the latest product built on Cree’s revolutionary SC³ Technology Platform, joining XB-D, XT-E, XT-E High-Voltage and XM-L High-Voltage LEDs. The SC³ Technology Platform leverages Cree’s advanced silicon carbide technology, features advancements in LED chip architecture and phosphor, and showcases a new package design to deliver the most advanced LED components in the industry.

With an 8.9mm x 8.9mm footprint, the MT-G2 LED is available in 2- and 4-step EasyWhite® color temperatures ranging from 2700K to 5000K. The new LEDs are available in minimum 80 and 90 CRI options and feature multiple voltage selections, including higher voltages that enable the use of smaller, more efficient drivers to lower system cost.
