XLamp® LED Applications: Outdoor Lighting

Outdoor lighting refers to all the lights that illuminate streets, roads, parking garages, and parking lots all over the world. Most of these lights use high-intensity discharge (HID) lighting because it offers high light output at a low cost.

The future of outdoor lighting is LEDs. With the launch of the XLamp XR-E LED, XLamp LED light can offer real value to the outdoor lighting markets for the following reasons:

• Long lifetime & good lumen maintenance
• Efficacy level equivalent to metal halide
• Directional light output
• Great performance in cold environments
• Better for the environment

XLamp XR-E LEDs in Street Lighting

Since XLamp XR-E LEDs have typical luminous flux of 80 lumens per LED, it takes fewer than 100 of these LEDs to equal the useful light output of a typical streetlight.

Cree is actively pursuing the application of LEDs to street lighting and has built a prototype fixture that meets the IESNA Type II Short standard. We have only just begun! We are confident that LEDs are fully capable of achieving all IENSA streetlight patterns.
