Cree broadens high-power LED portfolio

Cree Inc. announced it is extending its XLamp high-power LED family to offer a full range of LED performance options for portable and general illumination applications. The new Cree XLamp XR-C LED delivers luminous flux of up to 74lumens at 350mA or 60lumens/W and typical luminous flux of 60lumens and is available in production quantities.

The XR-C LED shares the same form factor as the company’s flagship XR-E LED, allowing customers to reuse design elements. The XR-C LED features the same durability and surface mount characteristics as other XLamp LEDs and provides an alternative for applications that do not require the highest brightness.

“Cree recognizes the market need for a high performance, lower-priced power LED,” said Norbert Hiller, Cree VP and general manager for XLamp LEDs. “The XLamp LED family now addresses the full spectrum of the power LED marketplace.”
