Cree has released high-flux bins for warm- and cool-white XLamp XP-E LEDs and high maximum forward currents for both XLamp XP-E and XP-G LEDs.
XLamp XP-E cool-white LEDs are available in the R3 bin, 122 to 130 lumens at 350mA, delivering up to 116 lumens per watt. Warm-white (3000 K) XP-E LEDs are available in the Q3 bin, 94 to 100 lumens at 350mA. The maximum forward current for all XLamp XP-E white LEDs is now increased to1A, enabling design flexibility and high light-output applications.
In addition, the maximum forward current for XLamp XP-G LEDs is now raised to 1.5 A, delivering up to 493 lumens at 92 lumens per watt. XP-G LEDs deliver high efficacy at high currents, which is suitable for new high-performance LED applications where more light in less space is necessary.
