3-Up Cree XP-E Deep Red/IR 20mm LED Star - Optics Ready™

Features

Description

The triple 3-Up Cree XLamp® XP-E LED uses proven technology from the XR-E line, delivered inside a package with an 80 percent smaller footprint and 69 percent more flux than the XR-E. Cree was able to increase performance by reducing the space between the die.  Combining 3 of the XP-E LEDs on a 20 star board significantly increase the light output per unit area.

Three XP-E LED emitters are re-flowed to a LUXdrive 20mm metal core printed circuit board (MCPCB). The 20mm MCPCB is an electrically isolated standard hexagonal shape (LED Star) with two solder pads for easy handling and wiring. The hexagonal shape allows multiple LED stars to be placed closely together. The combination of XP-E LED and MCPCB is compatible triple optics from Carclo.

PRODUCTION LIMITED: Cree has a new version of the XP-E, which they have called the XP-E2. For those that started with the XP-E, we continue to list these items for your reference and have included links to the new and improved XP-E2.

Technical Documentation

Notes for Table

• Cree maintains a tolerance of +/- 7% on flux and power measurements.
• Typical CRI for Cool White & Neutral White (3,700 K â€" 10,000 K CCT) is 75.
• Typical CRI for Outdoor White (4,000 K - 5,300 K CCT) is 70.
• Typical CRI for Warm White (2,600 K â€" 3,700 K CCT) is 80.
• Cree maintains a tolerance of +/- 7% on flux and power measurements.

Notes for Table

• The increase of maximum forward current to 1000 mA for XLamp XP-E White is retroactive and applies to all XLamp XP-E White LEDs produced by Cree. This increase is the result of more extensive testing that was performed after the initial product launch.

Important Information

Average Lumen Maintenance CharacteristicsBased on internal long-term reliability testing, Cree projects royal blue, blue, green and white XLamp XP-E LEDs to maintain an average of 70% lumen maintenance after 50,000 hours, provided the LED junction temperature is maintained at or below 135°C and the LED is operated with a constant current of up to 700 mA.

Cree currently recommends a maximum drive current of 700 mA for XLamp XP-E white in designs seeking the ENERGY STAR* 35,000 hour lifetime rating (≥ 94.1% luminous flux @ 6000 hours) or 25,000 hour lifetime rating (≥ 91.8% luminous flux @ 6000 hours).

Please read the XLamp Long-Term Lumen Maintenance application note for more details on Cree’s lumen maintenance testing and forecasting. Please read the XLamp Thermal Management application note for details on how thermal design, ambient temperature, and drive current affect the LED junction temperature.

* These lifetime ratings are based on the current ENERGY STAR Solid State Lighting Luminaires V1.1 (December 12, 2008) and ENERGY STAR Integral LED Lamps V1.0 (December 3, 2009) lumen maintenance criteria.
