Cree has expanded its CXA family with new 95 CRI options and two new LEDs, providing lighting manufacturers with high performance, design versatility and low cost across one product platform. Claiming up to twice the efficacy of other LED light sources with equivalent CRI, the new CXA CRI options deliver halogen-like colour and enhanced lighting-class performance by combining high-quality light with high light output and efficacy.
The extended family of CXA LED arrays includes the XLamp CXA1304 and CXA1816. The CXA1304 is the most compact member of the family, delivering up to 1034 lumens in a 6 mm optical-source size, and enabling lighting manufacturers to address small-form-factor lighting applications. The CXA1816 can enable LED replacements for up to 70 Watt ceramic-metal-halide in spot lighting or for 2000 lumen downlights with a 12 mm optical-source size.
All the LEDs in the CXA family offer 6000 hours of LM-80 data published and are designed to support TM-21 reported L90 lifetime of over four years, even at 105°C. Available in 5000 K through 2700 K CCTs, the high-CRI CXA LED arrays deliver a typical CRI of 95 with a typical R9 value of 85 at 3000 K.
All CXA LED arrays are available in EasyWhite colour temperatures, providing excellent colour consistency for designs that use only one LED. The new family now delivers from 300 to over 10 000 lumens.
