3-Up Cree XE-G Color 20mm LED Star - Optics Ready™

The PULSAR XE-G Color LED Light Engine combines three compact 1.6 × 2.05mm Cree XE-G emitters on an LEDdynamics thermally optimized aluminum MCPCB to deliver high optical density, precise beam control and high spectral output from a compact platform. Choose from 17 color and spectral options for applications requiring color mixing, wavelength selection or spectral control. Optional HexaTherm™ technology enhances thermal performance, while the Optics Ready™ platform supports multiple beam distributions for straightforward optical integration.

Recommended Applications: Architectural • Entertainment • Machine Vision • Scientific • Horticulture

Description

XLamp® Element G (XE-G) LEDs are a breakthrough solution for color-mixing lighting applications, offering high light output and full spectral control. With 17 different colors and a variety of white options, lighting manufacturers gain unprecedented flexibility to optimize their product's light output properties. The compact 2.05 x 1.6 mm footprint package includes industry-leading features like a large isolated thermal pad, ESD protection, and minimal spacing between the LED chip and the package edge. The consistent XE-G platform across all colors simplifies design reuse, enabling efficient application in directional lighting, indoor, architectural, entertainment, and aftermarket automotive settings.

LED Star MCPCB

We offer the XE-G LED in two metal core printed circuit board (MCPCB) versions: a single (1-Up: 1 LED) and triple (3-Up: 3 LEDs). The 1-Up is a single XE-G LED reflow soldered to a 20mm hexagonal (LED Star) MCPCB. The MCPCB has four large solder pads for easy solder connections. The 3-Up is three (3) XE-G LEDs reflow soldered in-series to a 20mm hexagonal MCPCB. The 3-Up MCPCB has two solder pads for connections, mounting holes for secondary Carclo optics and a center hole for wires or securing the LED star to a heat sink.

Correlated Color Temperatures (CCT)

The XE-G LED is offered here in Cool-White (5000K), Neutral-White (4000K) and Warm-White (3000K & 2700K).

Secondary Optics

Both versions (1-Up & 3-Up) of the XE-G White LED are designed to work with secondary optics from Carclo; Carclo is a leader in molded poly-carbonate lens systems. The 1-Up secondary lens system combines a plastic holder and lens that sits on top of the 1-Up MCPCB, while the 3-Up optic is a one-piece system with three legs that sit down into corresponding holes on the 3-Up MCPCB. These secondary optics focus light into narrow, medium, wide and elliptical patterns. More information is available on optics that mate with the XE-G White LED on this page under the Accessories tab above.

Images, Part Numbers & Notes

Selecting the LED options near the 'add to cart' button displays the corresponding product image and part number. For referencing detailed specifications there are tables and downloadable documentation below.  Important Note: Unless noted otherwise the specifications listed are for a single XE-G LED. This means that in most cases the values need to be tripled for applications with the 3-Up version. For Example, if the forward voltage listed is 3.15V @ 350mA, then the 3-Up version would be 9.45V.
