Power LEDs light up vehicle interiors
Grote Industries, a leading designer and manufacturer of vehicle safety systems, is building its new line of interior dome lights with white Cree XLamp power LEDs.
With this announcement, XLamp LED lighting-class brightness and efficiency is now available in warm white from Cree.
The availability of high-performance LEDs across a full range of colour temperatures can allow lighting manufacturers to build cost-effective LED fixtures for many indoor home and office applications, helping meet the need for energy-efficient, environmentally friendly lighting.
The new warm white is available in both the XLamp XR-E and XR-C power LED families that are binned to the proposed ANSI standard, allowing manufacturers to select LEDs the same way they select lamps today.
"The LED industry has struggled to boost the brightness and efficiency of warm white LEDs, which have historically offered significantly lower performance than cool white LEDs", stated Norbert Hiller, Cree Lighting General Manager and Vice President.
"The new XLamp warm white LEDs hold a stable colour point and offer lighting designers and architects the first lighting-class warm white LED light source for general illumination applications that have traditionally been lit with incandescent light sources".
