Datasheet

The new XLamp XP-L High Intensity LED from Cree, the first single-die LED to deliver over 100,000 candelas with a 50mm diameter optic at 10W is on sale at MSC Technologies. Built on Cree’s SC5 Technology Platform, the XP-L High-Intensity LED delivers more than double the candelas than 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 to quickly boost performance of lighting systems, reduce size and lower system cost for applications such as track, outdoor and stadium lighting.

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

Featuring Cree’s new primary optic design that radically reduces optical source size by more than 50 percent, the XLamp XP-L High Intensity LED delivers unprecedented candela at 185 lumens per watt at one watt.

The new 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.
