New Cree XLamp CXA2 High Density LEDs Double Lumen Output

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 9mm - 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 74mm 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 70W 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 6mm LES, allowing similar reductions in size and power from traditional light sources.
