Cree Announces New XLamp® XP-E and XP-C LEDs
Industry's Smallest Lighting-Class LEDs Set New Performance Benchmarks
DURHAM, N.C., AUGUST 6, 2008 - Cree, Inc. (Nasdaq: CREE), a market leader in LED
lighting, announces a new standard for lighting-class LEDs with the introduction of the XLamp® XP-E and XP-C LEDs. These breakthrough LEDs have the smallest footprint in the industry for lighting-class LEDs-providing the same high-quality lighting performance and proven reliability as Cree XR-E and XR-C LEDs in an 80-percent smaller package.
The new XLamp LEDs, measuring just 3.45 mm square by 2 mm high, can enable new
applications, including backlighting, signage, outdoor, indoor and portable lighting, thanks to their small size and low profile as well as a wide viewing angle and symmetrical package.
Available bins for XLamp XP-E LEDs include minimums of 100 lumens at 350 mA in cool
white (5000 K - 10000 K) and 80.6 lumens at 350 mA in warm white (2600 K - 3700 K).
"We recognized an unmet need for lighting-class performance in a small-footprint, low-profile LED package. These products, based on an innovative new technology platform, address this need," said Paul Thieken, Cree marketing director for LED components. "This new platform, in concert with the existing XLamp products and the recently demonstrated XLamp MC-E LED, give LED lighting designers enhanced flexibility and performance to further accelerate the LED lighting revolution."
The XLamp XP-E and XP-C LEDs are available to order with standard lead times. For additional information, technical specifications, or to find an authorized distributor, visit www.cree.com/xp.
