Product Details

 

Cree XLamp CMB1840 3000K LED High-CRI 90 Metal Array COB CMB1840-0000-00PN0U0A30G. The Cree XLamp CMB1840 represents the high-density evolution of integrated LED arrays, utilizing a metal substrate to resolve the mechanical fragility issues associated with traditional ceramic COBs. Specifically, the CMB1840-0000-00PN0U0A30G provides a professional 3000K warm-white output with a minimum CRI of 90. This high-fidelity light engine is specifically engineered for manufacturers of premium retail spotlights, high-output downlights, and architectural fixtures where both color depth and structural durability are mandatory.
For LED module manufacturers and luminaire designers, the CMB series offers a strategic path to system cost reduction. By maintaining the industry-standard 17.85 mm x 17.85 mm footprint and a 14.5mm LES, the CMB1840 allows manufacturers to achieve higher lumen density and current handling without the expensive overhead of redesigning secondary optics or COB holders originally used for the CXB18xx series.

Critical Engineering Advantages for B2B Buyers

 

● Verified Metal Substrate Architecture: Unlike ceramic COBs that are prone to cracking during high-torque manual mounting or automated SMT pick-and-place, the CMB1840 features a robust metal carrier. This ensures superior mechanical reliability for contract manufacturers (EMS) and consistent thermal contact over the fixture's life.
● Premium Color Control (3-Step MacAdam): The "30G" binning code ensures that the 3000K chromaticity stays within a tight 3-step MacAdam ellipse. This prevents visible color shifting in large-scale office or retail installations, a non-negotiable requirement for architectural lighting tenders.

● Industry-Leading Thermal Path: With an exceptionally low junction-to-case thermal resistance of only 0.24 °C/W, the CMB1840 handles drive currents up to 2300 mA. This efficiency facilitates more compact heatsink designs while preserving the L70/L90 lifespan standards.

● Optimized 14.5mm LES: The 14.5mm emission area allows designers to achieve high center-beam candlepower (CBCP). This is critical for retail display lighting where narrow beam angles and "punchy" light effects are necessary to highlight merchandise textures.

FAQ

Q: Is the CMB1840 compatible with reflectors designed for the CXB1830?

A: Yes. The CMB1840 shares the same 17.85mm footprint and similar LES dimensions (14.5mm vs 14mm) as the CXB1830. Most standard reflectors and TIR lenses designed for the 18xx platform are fully compatible.

Q: Why choose Metal Substrate (CMB) over Ceramic (CXB) variants?

A: Metal substrates offer significantly better mechanical stability, especially during automated assembly. They are resistant to thermal shock and mechanical stress, reducing the defect rate for contract manufacturers (EMS) during the mounting process.

Q: What is the maximum current I can drive this LED at for high-bay apps?

A: The CMB1840 is rated up to 2300mA. However, to maintain the L70 lifespan, we recommend ensuring your heatsink is rated for the additional heat load and utilizing the 0.24 °C/W thermal path with high-quality thermal grease.

Q: Does Gainer LED provide bin-specific shipping for large orders?

A: Absolutely. We understand that luminaire manufacturers need color uniformity. We coordinate wholesale shipments to provide the same flux and chromaticity bins across your entire order whenever possible.
