New Cree High-Voltage, Lighting-Class LEDs Enable More Efficient LED Bulbs

Cree, Inc., a market leader in LED lighting, extends its lighting-class LED leadership into high-voltage LEDs with the commercial availability of new XLamp® MX-6S and MX-3S LEDs. With the same footprint and high-quality performance as the XLamp MX-6 and MX-3 LEDs, the MX-6S and MX-3S LEDs offer new high-voltage configurations designed for space-constrained LED lamps and bulbs. For these applications high voltage LEDs can be used to achieve smaller, more efficient power supplies and thermal systems. The XLamp MX-6S LED delivers luminous flux of up to 139 lumens at 60mA/20V in 6000K and 114 lumens in 3000K. The XLamp MX-3S LED provides up to 122 lumens at 115mA/10.7V in 6000K and 100 lumens in 3000K. The MX series LEDs deliver lighting-class performance for high voltage LEDs, including high reliability, high efficacy and industry-leading color consistency. "These new XLamp LED products can enable LED lamp manufacturers to create more efficient and cost-effective designs in applications such as A-19-bulbs or GU10 lamps," said Paul Thieken, Cree director of marketing, LED components. "With the addition of these products, Cree continues to deliver the industry's highest performance application-optimized LED components to the lighting design community." XLamp MX-6S and MX-3S LEDs are available now in production quantities with standard lead times. To locate a distributor, please visit www.cree.com/buyxlamp.
