Cree LED XLamp® XP-LR & XP-GR LEDs Optical Analysis
Leave a message
With the launch of XLamp® XP-LR & XP-GR LEDs, Cree LED has further enriched its portable lighting series.
These two products are designed for lighting applications that require high precision and excellent light efficiency. XP-LR & XP-GR use a round cup light-emitting surface, which can provide more uniform and concentrated light output compared to the traditional square cup light-emitting surface; the beam is more symmetrical and the cut-off line is clearer, which is suitable for the application scenario of "high-precision beam control" and meets the needs of headlights, bicycle lights and high-end flashlight users.
Portable lighting Optical analysis brief
- With the launch of XLamp® XP-LR and XP-GR LEDs, Cree LED has further enriched its portable lighting series.
- The round cup light-emitting surface makes the beam more uniform and brighter.
- The round cup light-emitting surface further highlights its advantages when matching the following common secondary optical systems:
(1) Reflector cup & flat surface combination
(2) Aspheric focusing lens with zoom function


XLamp® XP-LR & XP-GR LEDs Optical characteristics at a glance
Example 1 of flashlight application modification: Reflector cup solution

Comparison test was conducted by replacing LEDs with flashlights sold normally in the market
Reflector cup + flat lens design
4 modes:
(1) Flash
(2) High brightness
(3) Medium brightness
(4) Low brightness
Battery details:
(1) Battery specification: 21700
