Cree’s Blue LEDs Crank Up Brightness

When compared with the company’s previous blue power LEDs, the XLamp XR-E LEDs deliver brightness levels up to 70% higher. The components specify a maximum luminous flux of 42 lumens at 350 mA. As a result, users can choose to use fewer LEDs to lower their overall design costs or use the same number of devices to achieve greater light output. The blue XLamp XR-E LEDs are available now in production quantities. For further information and prices, call CREE INC., Durham, NC. (919) 313-5300.
