New high-intensity single-die LEDs offer more than double light output

MSC is now offering the new XLamp XP-L high-intensity LED, the first single-die LED to deliver over 100,000 candelas with a 50mm diameter optic at 10W. Built on Cree’s breakthrough SC5 Technology Platform, the XP-L High-Intensity LED delivers more than double the candelas than the industry’s previous highest-performing single-die XP-L LED through the same optic. Leveraging the existing 3.45mm x 3.45mm XP-L package, the new high-intensity LEDs allow to quickly boost performance of lighting systems, reduce size and lower system cost for applications such as track, outdoor and stadium lighting. Characterized and binned at 1050 mA, 85C, the XP-L High Intensity LED is available in up to 90 CRI and color temperatures ranging from 2700 K to 8300 K. 6,000 hours of LM-80 long-term testing data is available for the XP-L High Intensity LED for lighting manufacturers seeking Energy Star qualification. Featuring Cree’s innovative new primary optic design that radically reduces optical source size by more than 50 percent, the XLamp XP-L High Intensity LED delivers unprecedented candela at 185 lumens per watt at 1W. The LED offers a drop-in ready upgrade for XP-based luminaire designs, enabling manufacturers to achieve higher luminous intensity with minimal redesign to accelerate time to market, says the company.
