Cree LED, an SGH company, has launched a family of higher-performance XLamp XE-G LEDs. These devices deliver a 20% increase in efficiency for red/green/blue/white (RGBW) color-mixing systems and a 10% higher efficiency gain for 13 of the 18 colors.

The XLamp XE-G LEDs, packaged in a 2.05 × 1.6 mm footprint, are optimized for directional lighting applications such as indoor directional lighting, architectural lighting, entertainment lighting and aftermarket automotive lighting.
Cree LED attributes the efficiency upgrades to a combination of higher light output and lower forward voltage. In addition, the XE-G LEDs offer lighting manufacturers greater design flexibility for customization in their products with 18 different color options, including a range of white variations.
The XE-G LED family is available in 70, 80 and 90 CRI white, violet, royal blue, blue, PC blue, cyan, PC cyan, green, PC mint, PC lime, PC yellow, amber, PC amber, red‑orange, PC red‑orange, red, PC red and photo red. The company claims that the LED solution delivers the largest number of colors available in the same package and offers new levels of spectral control for general and specialty lighting applications.
The new LEDs provide a consistent optical source for uniform light control across all colors. Other features include the smallest possible distance between the LED chip and the edge of the package for close placement and easy combination with secondary optics and a large isolated thermal pad supporting advanced PCBs that deliver a direct thermal path from the LED to the heat sink. They also feature electrostatic discharge protection.
Product samples are currently available. Production quantities are available with standard lead times.
