Cree LED launches XLamp XP-L Photo Red S Line LEDs
Cree LED Inc of Durham, NC, USA (a Penguin Solutions brand) has launched XLamp XP-L Photo Red S Line LEDs for horticulture lighting. Designed for next-generation luminaires, the new LEDs deliver what is claimed to be outstanding efficiency and durability:
- Efficiency — With a typical wall-plug efficiency (WPE) of 83.5% at 700mA and 25°C, the XP-L Photo Red S Line LED offers a 6% efficiency boost over the XP-G3 Photo Red S Line LEDs. This extra performance can be used to lower Photo Red LED count in luminaires by 35% while still maintaining the same total system efficiency.
- Durability — Built with S Line technology, the LEDs feature what is claimed to be outstanding sulfur and corrosion resistance, making them suitable for harsh greenhouse environments.
- Upgrade path — Featuring the same 3.45mm x 3.45mm XP footprint as XP-G3 Photo Red S Line LEDs, XP-L Photo Red LEDs ensure an easy upgrade for existing systems.
Cree LED’s S Line LEDs are designed for demanding horticulture applications, ensuring:
- system reliability through rigorous switching and dimming cycles;
- long-lasting performance derived from proven outdoor lighting technology;
- reduced maintenance costs and improved return-on-investment for greenhouse operators.
Cree LED notes that it continues to expand its portfolio of XLamp horticulture LEDs, delivering solutions for modern agriculture. From vertical farming to greenhouses, the S Line LEDs promise extended operational lifespans, heightened efficiency and optimized yields, helping growers in any environment, says Cree LED.
Samples of XLamp XP-L Photo Red LEDs are available now and production orders are shipping with standard lead times.
