Cree Inc. (Durham, NC) is announcing the commercial availability of the XLamp® XP-G LED, which can produce up to 367 lumens when driven at 1A, at a typical efficacy of 111 lumens per Watt; making it 46% brighter and 64% more efficient than the highest-performance XR-E LED, with an 80% smaller footprint, the company reports.
High efficacy at lower current (up to 132 lm/W typical at 350mA) can lower the total power requirement for a portable or solar-lighting application, which can reduce the amount of solar cells or batteries needed.
The cool-white XP-G LED is available now with order codes up to 139 lumens minimum, at 350mA, and ANSI-compliant cool-white bins (5,000K – 8,300K CCT) through the Cree distribution network (www.cree.com/buyxlamp).
