![]() ![]() This was a significant upgrade as Cree found a way to limit the space in between the die in order to make an 80% smaller footprint and bump the luminous flux up by 70%. ![]() The original XP-E diode was an upgrade from the Cree XR-E. The XM-L2 also comes in an RGBW option if you have a need for changing colors or mixing them, adding another great option to this LED.Ĭolors Available: Cool White, Neutral White, Warm White, RGBW (color mixing) As with most Cree diodes if you see the part end with a 2 it most likely means this was an upgrade from an old diode, in this case the XM-L2 marks a 20% increase in performance over its predecessor, the XM-L. So if you are just looking for a single LED this is comparable to the XP-L but if you want more LEDs in a smaller area I would look to the XP-L first. Since the footprint is larger for the XM-L2 diode it is not able to be placed on a 3-up MCPCB like the XP-L LEDs. The downside to this LED over the XP-L really only comes into play if you want more LEDs in a small area. This is great as it gives fantastic light output and efficacy. The XM-L2 actually has the same diode as the XP-L, the only difference is that the XM-L2 has a larger dome over the diode, making for a larger footprint. So much so that we actually compared the two in an in depth post here. The XM-L2 is more similar to the XP-L LED than you may think. Back when we first put the XP-L on the site we did a more in depth review that you can find here.Ĭolors Available: Cool White, Neutral White & Warm White Cree has really beefed up the competition with this one with the improvements in output and efficiency. This LED allows lighting manufacturers and at home do-it-yourselfers to improve the performance of any lighting design while creating smaller and less expensive systems that were not possible before.īasically if you are looking for the brightest LED and the most bang for your buck, this is your LED. The XP-L is capable of over 1,000 lumens, boasting next generation output, while also having the highest optical control factor. The XP-L uses the same footprint as the XPG-2 but has increased the light emitting surface (LES) and maximum drive current (3A) making it so it can be driven at higher currents, therefore being capable of outputting much higher lumen numbers. This crazy light output along with its breakthrough efficacy give the XP-L a 50% increase in performance over the previous market leading Xlamp XP based LED. ![]() The Cree XP-L high density LED is the first LED to put out up to 200 lumens per watt at 350mA. Below we will go through each one showing the features as well as go over the different options available. Here at LEDSupply we offer the Cree Xlamp LED series as just the diodes (bare emitters) or mounted on one of our metal core printed circuit boards (MCPCB) in 1-Up, 3-up and 4-up options depending on the LED. If you want more general information on LEDs and how to understand all the specs and information on them then I suggest you check out our extensive guide to LEDs here first. ![]() Below we will run through each Cree LED we carry and give you a brief overview of the LED and how it stands out from the rest, hopefully aiding you in finding what LED is best for your application. This is great as it keeps the LEDs up to date with the newest technology but it can be confusing when trying to buy a Cree LED and then seeing how many different options there are. Cree is constantly improving on their technology, coming out with upgrades and new models. When you choose Cree LED luminaires you are getting the innovation and proven technology that makes the industry’s most reliable and best performing LEDs. Being a market leader, Cree LEDs define the metrics by which all other LEDs are measured. The Cree brand develops the highest-quality LED lighting. ![]()
