lumen maintenance Projections

Cree now uses standardized IES LM-80-08 and TM-21-11 methods for collecting long-term data and extrapolating LED

lumen maintenance. For information on the specific LM-80 data sets available for this LED, refer to the public LM-80

results document at www.cree.com/xlamp_app_notes/LM80_results.

please read the XLamp Long-Term Lumen Maintenance application note at www.cree.com/xlamp_app_notes/XRE_

lumen_maintenance for more details on Cree’s lumen maintenance testing and forecasting. Please read the XLamp

Thermal Management application note at www.cree.com/xlamp_app_notes/thermal_management for details on how

thermal design, ambient temperature, and drive current affect the LeD junction temperature.

moisture sensitivity

In testing, Cree has found XLamp Xp-E2 LEDs to have unlimited floor life in conditions ≤ 30 ºC/85% relative humidity

(RH). Moisture testing included a 168-hour soak at 85 ºC/85% RH followed by 3 reflow cycles, with visual and electrical

inspections at each stage.

Cree recommends keeping XLamp LeDs in their sealed moisture-barrier packaging until immediately prior to use. Cree

also recommends returning any unused LeDS to the resealable moisture-barrier bag and closing the bag immediately

after use.
