Breakthrough LED enables 50-W halogen performance

The XLamp XM-L2 EasyWhite LED, delivering more than 1,100 lm of color-consistent light from a 5 x 5-mm package, enables a 38% gain in light output and efficacy, as a drop-in upgrade to the first-generation XM-L EasyWhite LED. The LED is optimized to replace halogen technology. Developed to be used as a single component in small form factor lighting designs, it emulates the appearance and matches the color consistency of halogen lamps. 

The LED offers 2-step and 4-step MacAdam ellipse bins to deliver the industry’s best color consistency. Characterized at 85°C, the XM-L2 LED is available with 80 and 90 minimum CRI options, color temperatures ranging from 5000K to 2700K and forward voltage configurations of 6 or 12 V. It helps meet Energy Star qualification by using 3,000 hours of LM-80 data—half of what is normally required for qualification.
