Cree also launched a remote phosphor component patent licensing program that provides access to the company’s remote phosphor patents.
The program is designed to drive the LED lighting revolution by enabling lighting fixture companies to develop and introduce their own high-quality LED system products using LEDs such as the XLamp XT-E Royal Blue.
The company said with a license under the new program, lighting OEMs can gain access to a number of fundamental Cree patents required to manufacture and use the combination of a remote phosphor optical element with blue LEDs in LED lighting applications.
Cree developed the XLamp XT-E Royal Blue LED using its Direct Attach LED technology, and the new product delivers nearly 525mW at 350mA and 85C.
The new XLamp XT-E LED delivers the tightest wavelength bins combined with category-leading brightness to simplify remote phosphor designs and lower system costs, and it is also available in 2.5nm wavelength bins to allow customers to achieve desired color consistency.
Cree marketing, LED components senior director Mike Watson said the new Cree XLamp XT-E Royal Blue LED outperforms the competition in both elements enabling the company’s customers to design high-performance and low cost systems.
