Cree LED Advances Horticulture Lighting with Launch of XLamp XP-L Photo Red S Line LEDs

Cree LED, a Penguin Solutions brand, has introduced the new XLamp XP-L Photo Red S Line LEDs, a groundbreaking advancement in horticulture lighting technology. Designed to deliver exceptional efficiency, exceptional durability and seamless system upgrades, these LEDs are optimized for high-performance applications in greenhouses, vertical farms, and other large-scale growing operations.

The XP-L Photo Red S Line LEDs represent a 6% improvement in typical Wall-Plug Efficiency (WPE) over the previous generation, reaching 83.5% at 700 mA and 25°C. This improvement offers compelling cost benefits for horticulture customers. They can reduce operating costs by upgrading to the same output with less power consumption or lower initial costs with a redesign that reduces the necessary number of Photo Red LEDs by up to 35%.

Built with advanced S Line technology, Cree LED’s XP-L Photo Red LEDs deliver top-tier sulfur and corrosion resistance, extending their lifespan and ensuring reliable performance. These features significantly reduce maintenance costs while providing consistent, high-quality lighting throughout critical growth cycles. Additionally, with the same 3.45 x 3.45 mm XP footprint as the XP-G3 Photo Red S Line LEDs, the XP-L Photo Red enables seamless upgrades to existing designs.
