New Cree LEDs deliver higher brightness, colour quality and consistency
Pushing LED brightness, colour quality and consistency to new levels, Cree announces another step in eradicating today’s energy-wasting halogen light sources. New XLamp® MT-G LEDs deliver higher brightness levels, unparalleled color quality and proven lighting-class reliability.
The new MT-G LED is now more than 10 percent brighter, and can deliver up to 1670 lumens at 85C in warm white (3000K) color temperatures. Additionally, MT-G LEDs are now available in high CRI versions optimized for applications such as retail and restaurant lighting where high CRI and lighting uniformity are required. These new capabilities can enable customers to extend existing MT-G designs, and enable new applications traditionally supported by halogen light sources.
USAI Lighting is one of the first lighting manufacturers to incorporate the new MT-G high- CRI LED into a luminaire—its award-winning NanoLED® lighting solution. The Cree MT-G-based NanoLED provides designers with color quality, efficiency, flexibility and control via proprietary optics to bridge striking aesthetics with functional application in a variety of interior installations.
“We have a relentless focus on providing only the best—and superior color quality is an essential part to ensuring our customers a high-performing lighting solution,” said Bonnie Littman, president of USAI Lighting. “Being able to offer our customers halogen-like color and brightness along with the energy-efficient benefits of LEDs is going to be a
game-changer.”
“Cree MT-G LEDs are the flagship product to bring real freedom to lighting OEMs,” said Mike Watson, Cree, Senior Director of Marketing, LED components. “Real freedom is providing options to customers who want the ability to order their LEDs in 2-step or 4-step color consistency at many color points. Cree was the first in the industry to offer LED components binned at operating temperature. Combine all of that with commercially-available parts, and that’s the advantage Cree brings to its customers.”
XLamp MT-G LEDs are now available with brighter flux and with 90-minimum CRI options. Cree also offers more than 6,000 hours of IESNA LM-80 published lifetime data, which can assist lighting manufacturers with ENERGY STAR® qualification. With color temperature options ranging from 2700K to 5000K, all MT-G LEDs are available in 2- and 4-step EasyWhite™ color temperatures, with the option of either 6V or 36V forward voltages. The full range of MT-G LEDs are available for sampling immediately, and production volumes are available with standard lead times.
Rubicon ships 200,000th six- inch sapphire wafers to the LED manufacturing industry
Rubicon Technology, a provider of sapphire substrates and products to the LED, RFIC, Semiconductor, and Optical industries, today announced that it has shipped a total of 200,000 six-inch sapphire wafers to the LED manufacturing industry. Sapphire, the base material used for the majority of LEDs, is used in consumer products such as LED-based lighting, HDTVs, laptops, netbooks, smart phones and tablets, and automotive lighting.
Rubicon was instrumental in the development of large diameter sapphire wafers for use in the RFIC market and further developed the process to serve other markets requiring large diameter sapphire wafers, such as LED lighting and other semiconductor applications.
“I believe Rubicon has significantly more experience November/December 2011
