Cree, Inc., a market leader in LED lighting, will be showcasing its lighting fixtures, lamps and components in Booth 149 during the Lightfair 2010 show held May 12 to 14 at the Las Vegas Convention Center.
In addition to exhibiting its industry-leading Cree TrueWhite™ Technology-based LED downlights, including the new high-output, deeply recessed LR6-DR1000, Cree is also debuting its newest LED lamp, the LBR30™. Cree will be demonstrating its new LRP-38-1000L which delivers 1000 lumens of directional light, and its newest high-efficiency troffer replacement, the LR24HE, which delivers more than 100 lumens per Watt fixture efficacy. More efficient than fluorescent troffers, the LR24HE has a CRI of 90 and is designed to last 50,000 hours.
Cree will also be demonstrating its line of lighting-class LED components, including the newest XLamp® XM LED platform. Cree’s first LED module, the LMR4, will be shown in the Cree booth. Luminaires incorporating the LMR4 will also be on display in the following booths: Con-Tech, booth 348; dmf LIGHTING, booth 277; Intense Lighting, booth 727; and LITON Lighting, booth 1321.
The XM LED. This new single chip LED delivers record-breaking efficacy of 160 lumens per watt at 350 mA. The LED also delivers 750 lumens at 2 A, which is equivalent to the light output of a 60 W incandescent light bulb at less than 7 watts.
“This new platform continues Cree’s well-established record of turning R&D innovations into products,” said Chuck Swoboda, Cree chairman and CEO. “We continue to set the pace for LED performance, establishing new benchmarks that make you wonder why anyone would consider last-century’s energy-wasting technology.”
A cool white XM LED driven at 350 mA can produce 160 lumens at 160 lumens per watt. The new platform has a larger footprint than Cree’s XP family and also offers the unique combination of very high efficacy at very high drive currents. At 2 A, an XM LED produces 750 lumens at 110 lumens per watt. The thermal resistance of the XM platform is 2 degrees C per watt— an industry-leading technology breakthrough and a 350 percent improvement over Cree’s flagship XLamp XP-E LED.
Samples of the XLamp XM LEDs are available for order with standard lead times and commercial availability is targeted for Fall 2010.
