Cree XLamp XQ-E High Intensity Red XQERED-H0-0000-000000401 Technical Overview

Product Details

Cree XLamp XQ-E High Intensity Red XQERED-H0-0000-000000401 Technical Overview. The Cree XLamp® XQ-E High Intensity (HI) represents a specialized class of monochromatic LEDs designed for manufacturers who require the highest possible candela-per-lumen ratio in a compact form factor. Specifically, the XQERED-H0-0000-000000401 utilizes a flat-top, domeless design on Cree's proven 1.6 mm x 1.6 mm ceramic platform. By eliminating the primary silicone dome, this 625nm red emitter reduces the light-emitting surface (LES) size, allowing luminaire manufacturers to achieve much tighter beam angles and more precise optical control compared to standard domed LEDs.

For LED module manufacturers and specialty lighting designers, the XQ-E HI Red provides a strategic solution for applications where space is limited but radiant intensity is non-negotiable. It is the preferred component for high-density architectural arrays, entertainment lighting, and emergency signaling systems where color mixing and directional throw are the primary engineering goals.

Engineering Advantages for B2B Buyers

• Optimized Optical Etendue: The flat-top design is specifically engineered to interface with narrow-angle secondary optics (TIR lenses and reflectors). This ensures a uniform beam pattern without the artifacts or halos often associated with larger high-power LEDs.
• Thermal Path Reliability: Built on Cree's ceramic substrate technology, the XQ-E HI features a low junction-to-solder point thermal resistance of 6 °C/W. This efficiency allows engineers to push the component to its 1.0A maximum drive current while maintaining spectral stability and L70 lumen maintenance.
• Proven Reliability at 85 °C: Unlike budget-grade SMD LEDs, this series is characterized and binned at 85 °C. This provides manufacturers with accurate performance data that reflects real-world fixture operating temperatures, reducing the margin of error in thermal simulations.
• Industrial-Grade Robustness: The XQ-E platform is widely recognized for its resistance to environmental stress and thermal fatigue, making it the "safe choice" for 50,000+ hour municipal and commercial project tenders.

The XQERED-H0-0000-000000401 is a staple light engine for performance-driven markets:

• Architectural Wall Washing: High-density red arrays for facade grazing where consistent color saturation and tight beam control are mandatory.
• Entertainment & Stage Lighting: Compact source for RGBW mixing modules in moving heads and par lights requiring narrow beam angles.
• Transportation & Signaling: High-reliability red emitters for emergency vehicle light bars, traffic indicators, and airport navigation markers.
• Specialty Indicators: Precise, high-intensity red light for high-visibility industrial control panels and status beacons.
