Cree XLamp® MPL EasyWhite™ LED Delivers up to 1500 Lumens at 75 Lumens per Watt in a Breakthrough Package Design
DURHAM, N.C., -— Cree, Inc. (Nasdaq: CREE), a market leader in LED lighting, announces a breakthrough new lighting-class LED that can obsolete energy-inefficient light bulbs. The XLamp® MPL EasyWhite™ LED offers the performance, color consistency and lumen density to displace conventional light sources, all in the industry’s smallest package. Featuring Cree’s unique EasyWhite innovation, the LEDs are specified like traditional light sources—simply indicate the desired color temperature and brightness.
The multi-chip XLamp MPL EasyWhite LED is optimized for directional lighting applications. With proper system design, the MPL EasyWhite LED can deliver the required light output for a 3000-K, 75-Watt equivalent BR-30 light bulb, but would consume 78-percent less energy than traditional incandescent technology. This would meet the efficacy and lumen-output requirements for integral LED lamps as defined by ENERGY STAR®.
The XLamp MPL EasyWhite LED features up to 1500 lumens at 250 mA and a compact 12-mm x 13-mm footprint, which is 72 percent smaller than the nearest-competing LED component. It is commercially available in volume now with standard lead times and in small quantities through authorized Cree distributors, as well as in sample quantities direct from Cree.
