Cree LED

The LED display industry is entering a new phase defined by total optimization. When display designers can simultaneously improve design flexibility, maintenance efficiency, image quality, size, weight, manufacturing complexity and power consumption, the result is a structural shift in what LED displays can achieve, and where they can go.

This article reveals how a new patented technology by Cree LED, OptiLamp™ LEDs with active intelligence built into every pixel, bring that shift by allowing for engineered displays that are not only visually superior, but also lighter, smarter, longer-lasting and more cost-effective across their entire lifecycle.

Cree LED’s XLamp® CMB, CMU and CHA White COB LED Pro9™ versions are now available in new CCT and CRI options:

2400K: 90 & 95 CRI min
2200K: 90 CRI min

This expands design flexibility for premium indoor and outdoor lighting applications. Pro9 LEDs deliver up to 15% higher efficacy for 90 and 95 CRI, compared to standard versions, without sacrificing color rendering quality. They also feature the industry’s highest operating temperature rating of 105°C. With the same maximum current, mechanical and electrical characteristics as the standard versions, lighting manufacturers can expand warm, high-CRI designs with minimal redesign effort.
