Cree extends XLamp CXA family with 68% brighter LED array

LED chip, lamp and lighting fixture maker Cree Inc of Durham, NC, USA has launched two new XLamp LED Arrays to enable high-lumen applications ranging from wallpacks to canopy lighting with one CXA LED family.

The new CXA3590 LED Array delivers up to 16,225 lumens at 85°C, which is 68% more lumens compared to Cree’s previous brightest array. The CXA3590 LED Array is a suitable light source for replacing 250-watt metal halide (MH) fixtures — using 40% less power and designed to last twice as long.

“It enables us to address more applications with a single, easy-to-use platform,” comments David Lin, general manager of YAH JUANG Lighting Technology. “The CXA3590 LEDs allow us to address high-lumen applications with a single LED, a feat which would have taken hundreds of other LEDs to accomplish,” he adds. 

Cree has also introduced the CXA3070 LED Array, which delivers more than 11,000 lumens at 85°C and shares the same footprint and package design as the existing CXA3050 LED.

Both the CXA3590 and CXA3070 arrays are optimized to simplify design and enable low system cost. The new high-light-output LED arrays deliver up to 134 lumens-per-watt at 85°C and 70-95 CRI options, expanding what is claimed to be the industry’s broadest family of LED arrays.

“The high-performance CXA3070 LED Array enables us to offer metal halide replacements that exceed the efficiency and life of the technology they replace,” comments David Gershaw, president of RemPhos Technologies LLC.

Characterized and binned at 85°C, the new LEDs are available in ANSI White and EasyWhite color temperatures (2700–5000K), providing what is claimed to be the industry’s best color consistency for designs that use only one LED.

Samples of the XLamp CXA3590 and CXA3070 LED are available now, and production quantities are available with standard lead times.
