Cree Announces New XLamp® XR-C LED for Portable and Illumination Applications

Cree, Inc. announced that it is extending its XLamp high-power LED family to offer a full range of LED performance options for portable and general illumination applications. The new Cree XLamp XR-C LED delivers luminous flux of up to 74 lumens at 350 mA or 60 lumens per watt and typical luminous flux of 60 lumens and is available in production quantities.

The XR-C LED shares the same form factor as the company’s flagship XR-E LED, allowing customers to re-use design elements. The XR-C LED features the same durability and surface mount characteristics as other XLamp LEDs and provides an alternative for applications that do not require the highest brightness.

"Cree recognizes the market need for a high performance, lower-priced power LED," notes Norbert Hiller, Cree Vice President and General Manager for XLamp LEDs. "The XLamp LED family now addresses the full spectrum of the power LED marketplace."
