XLamp XT-E White LED, Cree

Based on Cree’s new high-performing silicon carbide technology platform, the XT-E White LED provides up to 148 Lm/W at 6000K, or up to 114 Lm/W at 3000K, at 85 C (185 F) and 350 milliamps. The lamp is offered in cool, neutral, and warm-white, as well as other options. The typical CRI for the 3700K to 5000K LED is 75; the 2600K to 3700K LED has a typical CRI of 80. The XT-E uses the same 3.45mm-square footprint as its predecessor, Cree’s XP-E High Efficiency LED. As a result, applying for Energy Star qualification requires only 3,000 hours of LM-80 data instead of 6,000 hours. Cree also offers the XLamp XT-E LED in royal blue. cree.com
