Cree's XLamp XQ-E Photo Red LED is optimized for horticulture lighting and can provide high levels of growth-promoting light wavelengths from a footprint that is less than one-third the size of that of its closest competitor. The LEDs enable the replacement of incumbent lighting technologies at lower power with similar spectral content. For example, a high-bay reference design built using Cree white and photo red LEDs deliver higher average photosynthetic photon flux (PPF) density than a 1,000-W double-ended high-pressure sodium (HPS) fixture while drawing half the power.
The XQ-E Photo Red LED can deliver more than 6.4 μmol/s of the 660-nm peak wavelength light that can benefit plant growth, from a 1.6 x 1.6-mm footprint. The company’s white and color LEDs deliver the full spectrum of light and mimic natural sunlight.
Product samples are available now and production quantities are available with standard lead times. For more information on the entire range of LEDs optimized for horticulture lighting, please visit www.cree.com/xlamp/horticulture.
