LEDs Get Optimized For Distributed Illumination

For 1/4W operation, the latest XLamp ML-B LEDs suit distributed-lighting applications such as panel lights and LED-based fluorescent tube replacements. Lifespan is 50,000 hours and the component provides the levels of efficacy, thermal resistance, and reliability that can enable ENERGY STAR-qualified fixtures. The XLamp ML-B LED delivers luminous flux up to 30 lm at 80 mA in cool white (5000K) and up to 24 lm in warm white (3000K). It shares the same footprint and package with the XLamp ML-E LED and provides uniform color over angle and a 120° viewing angle. CREE INC., Durham, NC. (919) 313-5300.
