LED eclipses halogen lamps colour consistency

Built on Cree’s EasyWhite technology, which combines tight colour binning and intense light output from a single LED, the XM-L2 EasyWhite LED is optimised to replace Color-Consistent 50-Watt Halogen Technology. The new XLamp XM-L2 EasyWhite LED from Cree delivers more than 1,100 lumens of colour-consistent light from a 5mm x 5mm package enabling a 38 percent gain in light output and efficacy as a drop-in upgrade to the first-generation XM-L EasyWhite LED.

Developed to be used as a single component in small form factor lighting designs, the LED is designed to emulate the appearance and match the colour consistency of halogen lamps.

It offers 2-step and 4-step MacAdam ellipse bins to deliver colour consistency, which is required for retail, residential, museum and hospitality applications.

Characterised at 85°C, the LED is available with 80 and 90 minimum CRI options, colour temperatures ranging from 5000K to 2700K and forward voltage configurations of 6V or 12V.

Lighting manufacturers seeking ENERGY STAR qualification can take advantage of the XM-L2 EasyWhite LED’s “successor” status to the XM-L EasyWhite LED and use just 3,000 hours of LM-80 data—half of what is normally required—for ENERGY STAR qualification.
