Cree has developed the industry’s first multichip MC-E LED with red, green, blue and white chips – all in a single package. It is also pairing new LED chip innovations with its industry-leading XLamp XP-E package to deliver a high performance family of discrete, high-power colour LEDs.
The XLamp MC-E is a compact component that provides design flexibility for colour-changing LED applications that require high flux from a small lighting source, such as entertainment and architectural lighting. It provides up to 22% more flux than the existing XLamp XR colour portfolio, with an 80% smaller footprint. The XP colour portfolio is available in flux bins, at 350 mA, up to 39,8 lumens for blue, 107 lumens for green and 56,8 lumens for both amber and red.
Compared to the current XLamp XR colour LEDs, space between the LED die can be reduced by 75% with the new XLamp XP-E colour LEDs and 94% with the new XLamp MC-E colour LED. This reduction in spacing can allow better colour mixing and shadow reduction for colour-based applications, including decorative, architectural and entertainment lighting.
