The XLamp® MHB-A LeD is a new generation of high-power LeD that delivers a more effective way to achieve low-cost systems than mid-power (MP) LeDs. Built using Cree’s high-reliability ceramic-package technology, the XLamp MHB-A LeD is able to operate at higher temperatures than MP LeDs with no reduction in rated lifetime, enabling an impressive 60% reduction in heat sink size and cost. Using up to 26 times fewer LeDs than MP LeDs to achieve the same performance, the XLamp MHB-A LeD is optimized to simplify LeD system designs for directional and semi-directional applications.
