Cree recently announced that it has made significant breakthroughs in its light-emitting diode (LED) technology. It is reported that the company's newly launched LED products will provide twice the lumens per dollar performance compared to traditional LEDs.

According to Cree, the company's newly launched XT-E LED and earlier XB-D LED, based on a new silicon carbide (SiC) technology platform, solve the biggest obstacle to large-scale deployment of LED lighting applications - initial investment cost. The lumens per watt (LPW) performance of Cree's new XT-E LED is more than twice that of the company's existing Xlamp XP-E LED, reaching 148LPW at a temperature of 85 ℃ and a current of 350mA. The XT-E LED has a size of only 3.45mm x 3.45mm and can be used in almost all types of lighting applications.

XT-E white LED is the next generation product of Cree's XP-E high-efficiency LED. Customers who use this component to develop lighting systems only need 3000 hours of XT-E LED LM-80 test data to meet Energy Star standards, rather than the conventional 6000 hour test, "Cree said.

Mike Watson, Senior Marketing Director of Cree's LED Components, stated in a statement that the Cree XB-D LED, with its excellent price/performance ratio, has changed the game rules of this industry. With the launch of XT-E LED, Cree has further broken through the barriers in the lighting field and accelerated customer adoption of LED with innovative products.

Cree stated that under the conditions of 350mA and 85 ℃, XT-E white LED can provide cold white light (6000 K) performance of 148 lumens and 148 LPW, or warm white light (3000 K) performance of 114 lumens and 114 LPW. The new component can now provide samples and has started mass production.
