Mid-power LEDs combines COB performance with lower system costs
Utilizing elements of the Cree SC5 Technology Platform, the ceramic XLamp MHD LEDs simplify development, increase design flexibility and improve manufacturing efficiency compared to mid-power LEDs. The MH family enables new designs and lower system costs, all while delivering industry leading performance.
“The high lumen output and high reliability of Cree’s new MHD-G LED allows us to develop a new downlight that outperforms other downlights in the market,” said Baly Luo, general manager, Aeon Lighting Technology. “ALT’s compact size 4 inch downlight that is built with the MHD-G LED generates over 1,800 lumens at 3000K while other downlights can only produce 800 to 1000 lumens.”
Featuring Cree EasyWhite technology in a 7 mm x 7mm package, XLamp MH LEDs enable a smaller board size, tighter beam angle and a more traditional appearance than mid-power LEDs. Delivering more than 1800 lumens at 14 W and 2500 lumens at 19 W respectively, the XLamp MHD-E and MHD-G LEDs are ideal for semi-directional, high-lumen applications such as downlight, high bay and outdoor area applications.
Paul Thieken, Cree director of marketing, LED Components, said: “With the MHD LEDs, we’re offering chip-on-board performance to lighting manufacturers that prefer surface mount technology, making it easier for them to achieve lower system cost than with the same commoditized mid-power LEDs that everyone is using.”
Cree XLamp MHD-E and MHD-G LEDs are available in 2700K-6500K with high CRI and multiple voltage options. Product samples are available now, and production quantities are available with standard lead times.
