Cree Introduces XLamp XQ LEDs [1]
Submitted by jessica on
Cree, Inc. has announced availability of a new product family, the XLamp XQ LEDs, featuring a unique combination of small size, novel light distribution and high reliability design.
The XQ LEDs are Cree’s smallest lighting-class LEDs at just 1.6mm x 1.6mm, 57 percent smaller than Cree’s XLamp XB package. Built on Cree’s SC3 Technology Platform, the ceramic-based XQ LEDs are designed to deliver the long-term lifetimes of Cree’s other high-power LEDs, such as the XP or XT LEDs. The XQ LED’s new light emitting pattern directs more light towards the edge rather than the center of the package.
The XQ line includes two new LEDs, the XQ-B and the XQ-D. In cool white (5000K), the XQ-B LED delivers up 160 lumens-per-watt at 0.18 W and the XQ-D LED delivers up to 130 lumens-per-watt at 1 W. Both LEDs are available in 2700K to 6500K color temperatures with minimum 80 CRI option.
