Cree intros industry’s brightest, highest efficacy color LEDs

USA: Cree Inc. announced commercial availability of XLamp XP-E2 color LEDs.

The new XP-E2 color LEDs deliver up to 88 percent higher maximum light output compared to alternative high-power color LEDs, enabling lighting manufacturers to more cost-effectively address a wide spectrum of applications such as architectural, vehicle and display lighting.

Built on Cree’s revolutionary SC³ Technology next-generation LED platform, the new XP-E2 color LEDs deliver higher lumens-per-watt and lumens-per-dollar compared to the original XP-E color LEDs to lower system costs for existing XP-E color designs.
