Cree shrinks its SiC based XLamp XQ LEDs

The firm says its silicon carbide based devices offer compactness and superior light distribution
Cree is marketing its new product family, the XLamp XQ LEDs. These compact modules offer novel light distribution and high reliability, enabling broader light distribution such as those used in omni-directional lamps and fixtures. The XQ LEDs are Cree’s smallest lighting-class LEDs measuring just 1.6mm x 1.6mm. This is 57 percent smaller than Cree’s XLamp XB package.
