From 186lm / W to 200lm / W Cree quickly improves LED light efficiency

Cree (Nasdaq: CREE) officially launched the industry-leading XLamp MK-R LED two years after the laboratory light efficiency exceeded 200 lm / W. The new XLamp MK-R LED based on SC³ next-generation technology platform can provide up to 200lm / W luminous efficiency at 1W and 25 ° C.

The new XLamp MK-R LED makes it possible to achieve system luminous efficacy of more than 100 lm / W for high-lumen applications. It is suitable for outdoor and indoor directional applications, including halogen replacement lamps. XLamp MK-R LEDs can provide EasyWhite color temperature grading, using only one LED can get better light color consistency. For systems using multiple LEDs, XLamp MK-R LEDs can help luminaire manufacturers use a smaller number of LEDs to achieve the same light output and light quality as current systems, thereby reducing system costs.

Nicola Vendrame, CEO of Linea Light Group, said: "Cree is able to launch 200 lm / W LEDs so quickly, which is truly amazing! The high light efficiency characteristics of XLamp MK-R LEDs means that we can use higher drivers and get more Multiple light output without heat dissipation problems. At the same time, XLamp MK-R LED integrates size, light color consistency and optical control, helping indoor directional lighting fixtures have a new generation of performance. "

John Edmond, Co-founder of Cree and Director of Advanced Optoelectronics, pointed out: "Cree's relentless pursuit of innovation has led to continuous breakthroughs in LED lighting. The introduction of XLamp MK-R LED will once again change the industry. XLamp MK-R LED Performance-level LEDs will accelerate the development of high-light output lighting applications, and may even realize applications that we have never thought of before. "

The XLamp MK-R LED package size is 7 mm x 7 mm, the light source size is 6 mm, and the light output is up to 1600 lm at 15 W and 85 ° C. XLamp MK-R LEDs offer 85 ° C condition characteristics, 2,700 K-7,000 K color temperature options, and a minimum color rendering index of 70, 80, and 90 (under selected color temperature conditions). XLamp MK-R LED is the ninth product based on Cree SC³ technology platform. The innovative technology platform adopts Cree's advanced silicon carbide (SiC) technology, exhibits excellent characteristics in LED chip structure and fluorescence conversion, and uses the latest packaging technology to match it, thereby providing the industry with the most advanced LED devices .

Cree XLamp MK-R LED can now be mass-produced according to standard delivery time.
