Cree has introduced the industry’s first lighting-class XM-L EasyWhiteTM LED.

The new LEDs combine the high light output and small footprint of the XLamp® XM-L LED package with Cree’s unique EasyWhite™ color mixing technology.

They are capable of reducing the cost and complexity associated with binning and color mixing, as well as using multiple discrete LEDs, such as 20-25 watt halogen MR, PAR and B10-style (candelabra) replacement lamps.

At just 4 watts of power, XM-L EasyWhite LEDs produce up to 340 lumens at an operating temperature of 85 C in warm white (3000K) in a single component.

XM-L EasyWhite LEDs are characterized at 85 C, allowing customers to accurately select XM-L LEDs at a specific color temperature. The XM-L EasyWhite is available with the industry’s tightest LED-to-LED color consistency, replicating the uniformity of incandescent light bulbs.

They are available in 2-step MacAdams Ellipse color points. They are also available in either a 6V or a high voltage 12V configuration, and have the same low profile dome and 5mm x 5mm footprint as the current XM-L LED family.
