Single-die LED delivers 200 lm/W at 350 mA

The XLamp XP-L LED is the first commercially available single-die LED to achieve efficacy of 200 lumens per watt (LPW) at 350 mA. Delivering up to 1226 lm in a 3.45 x 3.45-mm package, the LED enables an immediate performance increase of 50% as a drop-in upgrade for lighting designs based on the company’s XLamp XP-G LEDs.

The discrete LEDs also tout the industry’s highest optical control factor (OCF), a measurement of the impact that LED size and performance have on directional lighting applications. Characterized and binned at 1050 mA, 85°C, the LED is available in up to 90 CRI and color temperatures ranging from 2700 K to 8300 K. Lighting manufacturers seeking Energy Star qualification can use just 3,000 h of LM-80 data, potentially saving up to four months in the approval process.
