Lighting-class LED array for omnidirectional bulbs or directional downlights

Cree, Inc. has made available lighting-class LED array XLamp CXA2011 for applications such as omnidirectional bulbs or directional downlights.

"The CXA2011 LED has been incredibly easy to work with, enabling us to create very high-performance products," said Jason Lee, president of Gama Illuminer. "It gave us a plug-and-play solution with the right combination of brightness, efficacy and color consistency with real-world 85 Deg C specifications. Creating a design with CXA2011 was simple and manufacturing will be underway in record time."

"Combining fast and flexible system design with ease-of-manufacturing, the CXA2011 LED array helps customers quickly create a broad range of LED-based designs," said Mike Watson, Cree senior director of marketing, LED components. "Lower system cost and quicker time-to-market are keys to accelerating the LED lighting revolution."

Easy-to-use screw-mounts simplify the manufacturing and design process by eliminating the need for complex design-specific engineering and reflow soldering. With the CXA2011, Cree leads the way on color accuracy by extending the industry's largest offering of LEDs characterized at real-world operating temperatures (85 C), says Cree

The CXA2011 LED array delivers up to 4000 lumens at an operating temperature of 85 Deg C (1A, 5000 K) in a single component. It is available in 2-step and 4-step EasyWhite options, delivering the industry's tightest LED-to-LED color consistency reducing system complexity and making light source selection as easy as specifying a color temperature.

XLamp CXA2011 LED arrays are available now with standard lead times.
