Cree launches XHP50.2 extreme high-power LED, boosting output by 7% and efficiency by 10% over first generation

LED chip, lamp and lighting fixture maker Cree Inc of Durham, NC, USA has introduced the XLamp XHP50.2 LED, which delivers up to 7% more lumens and 10% higher lumens-per-watt (LPW) than the first-generation XHP50 LED in the same 5.0mm x 5.0mm package.

The firm says that the new XHP50.2 LED enables lighting manufacturers to quickly improve the performance of existing XHP50 lighting designs. Capable of producing more than 2500 lumens from its 6mm light-emitting surface (LES), the XHP50.2 can reduce the size and cost of new designs and enable innovative solutions to address applications ranging from spot to street lighting, it adds.

In addition to light output and efficacy enhancements, the XHP50.2 LED provides improvements to optical uniformity through secondary optics, enabling spot and portable lighting manufacturers to deliver better lighting, says Cree. The XHP50.2 LED has LM-80 data available immediately, reducing the time required to receive ENERGY STAR and DesignLights Consortium qualifications.

"Delivering the industry's best lumen density and reliability, Cree's XHP LED family allows our customers to achieve performance levels not possible with other LEDs at the lowest total system cost in a wide range of applications," claims Dave Emerson, senior VP & general manager for Cree LEDs.

Featuring Cree's EasyWhite technology, which provides high color consistency, the XLamp XHP50.2 LEDs are available in color temperatures of 2700-6500K with high-CRI (color rendering index) options. Product samples are available now, and production quantities are available with standard lead times.
