Cree, Inc., represented in ANZ by Cutter Electronics , a market leader in LED lighting is taking another leadership position in the LED industry with the addition of the industry’s smallest warm and neutral bins to its award-winning multichip XLamp MP-L and MC-E EasyWhite LEDs.
This breakthrough offers a single two-step MacAdams ellipse bin per colour temperature optimised to achieve incandescent-like colour consistency while eliminating the need to purchase multiple small bins and perform complex colour mixing.
"This innovation gives the lighting community a simple solution to a previously challenging issue — combining-lighting class LED efficacy with traditional incandescent colour consistency,” said Paul Thieken, Cree, director of marketing, LED components.
"Providing our customers with Cree’s EasyWhite technology in smaller, single bins can lower their cost and potentially speed time-to-market, furthering the LED lighting revolution to make obsolete energy-inefficient lighting.”
EasyWhite binning is a unique feature of Cree lighting-class multi-chip LED components that enables customers to specify a colour temperature and lumen output, simplifying LED system design and improving LED-to-LED colour consistency.
Each bin, at the intersection of the black body locus and standard warm/neutral CCT points is 94 percent smaller than the respective ANSI C78.377 quadrangle and 75 percent smaller than current Cree EasyWhite bins.
XLamp MP-L and MC-E LEDs with EasyWhite 2-step bins are offered in 2700 K, 3000 K, 3500 K as well as 4000 K and are now available in sample and production quantities with standard lead times.
