Cree XLamp XM-L2 6500K LED High-Output XMLBWT-00-0000-0000U20E1 Technical Overview

Product Details

Cree XLamp XM-L2 6500K LED High-Output XMLBWT-00-0000-0000U20E1 Technical Overview. The Cree XLamp XM-L2 represents the high-performance evolution of the original XM-L platform, delivering up to 20% more lumens-per-watt and lumens-per-dollar. Utilizing Cree's proven silicon-carbide (SiC) based SC³ Technology™, the XMLBWT-00-0000-0000U20E1 (6500K Cool White) is engineered for manufacturers who require intense lumen density and industrial reliability. For LED module manufacturers and fixture designers, this component serves as a strategic light engine that handles high drive currents while maintaining spectral stability.

Sharing the same 5.0 mm x 5.0 mm footprint as the legacy XM series, the XM-L2 allows contract manufacturers (EMS) and OEMs to immediately boost system performance in existing fixtures without the capital expense of redesigning secondary optics or PCB layouts.

Critical Engineering Advantages for B2B Buyers

• Verified SC³ Technology Platform: Built for high-wattage operation, the XM-L2 is characterized and binned at 85 °C, ensuring that the 6500K cool white chromaticity and U2 flux tier match actual fixture operating temperatures on the factory floor and in the field.
• Extreme Current Handling: Unlike standard 5050 LEDs, the XMLBWT series can be driven safely up to 3000 mA. This high-density capability allows fixture manufacturers to reduce the total number of LEDs required per module, effectively lowering the Bill of Materials (BOM) cost.
• Thermal Management Efficiency: With a junction-to-case thermal resistance of 2.5 °C/W, the XM-L2 facilitates rapid heat transfer. This stability protects the L70/L90 lifespan, ensuring finished luminaires meet the strict energy-efficiency requirements of professional tenders.
• Consistent Cool White Performance: Binned at the E1 chromaticity rank, this LED provides the crisp, high-visibility 6500K light needed for professional searchlights and industrial high-bay fixtures where visual contrast is paramount.

The XMLBWT-00-0000-0000U20E1 is a staple light source for performance-driven markets:

• Industrial High-Bay & Low-Bay: Delivers reliable 6500K light for warehouses requiring high-clearance mounting and maximum lumen maintenance.
• Outdoor Roadway & Floodlighting: Durable emitter for municipal infrastructure projects requiring high lumens-per-watt and resistance to thermal stress.
• High-Intensity Tactical Flashlights: The preferred light engine for professional searchlights where a punchy center-beam and extreme throw distance are mandatory.
• Architectural Floodlights: Consistent daylight-white accents for facade lighting where uniform color across large arrays is required.

Why Source through Gainer LED?

• All products are original, genuine reel packaging, supporting full batch traceability, compatible with automated mass production, and meeting various engineering quality inspection and bidding compliance requirements.
• Products are strictly graded and allocated according to the original manufacturer's 85℃ industrial standard, ensuring precise and stable parameters, helping end-user lighting fixtures easily pass international energy efficiency certifications such as DLC and ErP.
• Supports seamless replacement of older XM-L models without requiring board modifications or mold openings. Combined with high current and high power characteristics, it effectively simplifies the BOM and significantly reduces overall mass production costs.
• It possesses stable, large-volume supply capabilities, along with professional thermal management technical guidance, avoiding high-temperature light decay issues and ensuring long-term stable operation of the lighting fixtures.
