High-intensity LED offers highest-ever lighting performance

The XLamp XP-L High-Intensity LED is the first single-die LED to deliver over 100,000 cd with a 50-mm diameter optic at 10 W. It delivers more than double the candelas of the industry’s previous highest performing single-die XP-L LED through the same optic. Leveraging the existing 3.45 x 3.45-mm XP-L package, the new high-intensity LEDs allow lighting manufacturers to quickly boost performance, reduce size, and lower system cost for applications such as track, outdoor, and stadium lighting.

The LED features a new primary optic design that radically reduces optical source size by more than 50%. The new High-Intensity LED offers a drop-in ready upgrade for XP-based luminaire designs, enabling manufacturers to achieve higher luminous intensity with minimal redesign to accelerate time-to-market. The XP-L High-Intensity LED will allow lighting designers to fundamentally change the way they think about using LEDs in high-intensity lighting and enable lighting manufacturers to reach performance levels previously not possible.
