Cree has introduced their new XLamp XM-L2 EasyWhite LED, capable of delivering more than 1,100 lumens of color-consistent light from a 5mm x 5mm package.
The new XLamp model enables a 38 percent gain in light output and efficacy as a drop-in upgrade to the first-generation XM-L EasyWhite LED.
Built on Cree’s EasyWhite technology, which combines the industry’s tightest color binning and intense light output from a single LED, the XM-L2 EasyWhite LED is optimized to replace halogen technology, Cree said.
“The new XLamp XM-L2 EasyWhite LED offers greater optical control and an immediate performance boost to our existing designs using the XM-L EasyWhite LED,” said Tom Tang, chairman, Tons Lightology. “Having a drop-in replacement eliminates the need to redesign existing products, which lowers costs and helps speed our time to market.”
The XM-L2 EasyWhite LED is designed to emulate the appearance and match the color consistency of halogen lamps. The XM-L2 EasyWhite LED offers 2-step and 4-step MacAdam ellipse bins to deliver the industry’s best color consistency, which is required for retail, residential, museum and hospitality applications.
Paul Thieken, director of marketing, LED Components, Cree, said the company was the first to introduce an LED optimized for 50-watt halogen performance with the XLamp MT-G EasyWhite LED.
“Now with the XM-L2 EasyWhite LED, Cree delivers the same amount of light with the best color consistency in a package that’s 70 percent smaller, reducing the system cost for LEDs in halogen replacement applications,” Thieken added.
Characterized at 85°C, the XM-L2 EasyWhite LED is available with 80 and 90 minimum CRI options, color temperatures ranging from 5000K to 2700K and forward voltage configurations of 6V or 12V.
