February 2, 2010... Cree has introduced an LED package that delivers up to 1500 lumens at 75 lumens per Watt. Cree claims that its new lighting-class LED can make energy inefficient light bulbs obsolete. The XLamp MPL EasyWhite takes advantage of the company's previously announced EasyWhite binning which essentially mixes a variety of chips in a 7 MacAdam range in a single bin in order to average the color to a narrower 4 MacAdam range. The MLP EasyWhite encapsulates 24 die together. The XLamp MPL EasyWhite LED features up to 1500 lumens at 250 mA and has a compact 12-mm x 13-mm footprint, which the company says is 72 percent smaller than the nearest-competing LED component.

The multi-chip XLamp MPL EasyWhite LED is reportedly optimized for directional lighting applications, including PAR- or BR-style light bulbs. Cree boasts that with the proper system design, the MPL EasyWhite LED can deliver the required light output for a 3000-K, 75-Watt equivalent BR-30 light bulb, but would consume 78-percent less energy than traditional incandescent technology.
