LED arrays offers system cost savings of 60 percent
Utilizing elements of the Cree SC5 Technology Platform, the improvement in lumen density enables better performance and reduces system size and cost.
The chip-on-board (COB) LEDs allow lighting manufacturers to deliver more innovative solutions for applications such as track, downlight and outdoor lighting.
With the CXA2 LED arrays, lighting manufacturers can achieve the same or better performance with a smaller LES compared to earlier products. For example, a 3800
lumen output from a larger 19 mm LES LED can be replaced with a smaller 12 mm LES LED, resulting in up to 60 percent system cost savings from lower LED, mechanical and optic material costs.
“The new CXA2 LED arrays make it possible for lighting designers to radically reduce system costs in the next generation of industry-leading lighting products," said Dave Emerson, vice president and general manager for Cree LEDs. "By giving our customers innovative LED solutions instead of incremental LED improvements, we enable them to differentiate their products in the marketplace and deliver more value to their end customers.”
CXA2 LED arrays share the same physical design as earlier arrays, allowing lighting manufacturers to use the existing optical, mechanical and electrical design elements to accelerate time to market without additional cost. LM-80 data is available for all CXA2 LED arrays for lighting manufacturers seeking ENERGY STAR qualification. The CXA2 LED arrays are also UL-recognized components and feature a level 4 rating.
Through improvements in the light conversion process, Cree has reduced LED-to-LED color variations and, among other options, offers CXA2 LED arrays in 2-step and 3-step EasyWhite bins. XLamp CXA2 LED arrays are available in 2700K-6500K, CRI options of 70, 80 and 90 with multiple voltage options in LES ranging from 6-30 mm with a lumen range of 250-19,000 lumens to address a wide variety of applications. Product samples are available now, and production quantities are available with standard lead times.
