Cree white LED performance of the United States has a new breakthrough

America Cree company, the company announced before the white XLamp 7090 high power LED has been a breakthrough. When the LED operating current is 350mA, the maximum luminous flux per watt can reach 70 and 86 lumens, which is increased by with the maximum luminous flux of the current LED. Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory lighting research group leader Steve Johnson, said: these properties also means that LED will take at least 2 years to reach 150 lumens per watt".

"Cree company focused on with the fastest speed to improve the performance of LED, application of LED to achieve a higher price to replace the traditional lighting in general lighting, Cree lighting company vice president and general manager Norbert Hiller said," this decision is of great significance, because of the rapid increase in LED performance will continue to lead us more the developing direction of the small LED."

The development of these techniques are the U. S. Department of energy, national energy technology laboratory, U.S. Department of Commerce, National Bureau of standards and technology, and advanced technology support plan.
