Cree recently announced commercial availability of its half-Watt XLamp ML-E LED. The device provides lighting designers with a compact and cost-effective solution for distributed LED arrays that will enable them to meet stringent Energy Star performance criteria.
The LED delivers lighting-class performance in applications where a smooth, uniform appearance is required, such as LED fluorescent tube replacement, ceiling mounted panel lights and under-cabinet lighting. Unlike other low-power LEDs originally developed for consumer electronics and backlighting applications, the XLamp ML-E delivers the colour binning, efficacy, thermal resistance and long-term reliability required for Energy Star luminaires and bulbs.
The XLamp ML-E delivers full-size features in a small package with luminous flux of up to 58 lm at 150 mA in cool white (5000 K) and up to 48 lm in warm white (3000 K). Like the XLamp MX-6 and MX-3 LEDs, the ML-E provides a tightly controlled uniform angular chromaticity and a 120° viewing angle, optimised for distributed lighting applications. The XLamp ML-E also shares the same ANSI-compliant chromaticity binning used by the XLamp XP and MX families of LEDs.
