New XLamp® XE-B LEDs – Smaller Package for Greater Design Flexibility
The new XLamp® XE-B LEDs extend Cree LED’s flagship XLamp Element family into an even smaller form factor – enabling new levels of optical performance and spectral control for advanced lighting applications. Designed for high-intensity performance through secondary optics, XE-B LEDs help lighting manufacturers achieve exceptional color mixing, tighter beam control and higher optical efficiency from an ultra-compact light source.
The Largest Selection of Colors in a Single Package Platform

Key Benefits
- 0.9 x 1.4 mm package with a no compromise design enables the best possible color mixing between multiple LED packages
- Up to 60% higher intensity through secondary optics compared to existing LEDs with a larger 1 x 1 mm light emitting surface (LES).
- Minimal distance between LED chip and package edge for tighter optical integration
- 17 colors plus white options
Technical Highlights
- Consistent 1A max current across all colors
- Large, electrically isolated thermal pad
- Direct thermal path support for advanced PCB designs
- Uniform package design
Designed to Push Optical Performance Further
XLamp XE-B LEDs are optimized for secondary optics in both individual and array configurations. The smaller LES of XE-B enables up to a 60% increase in cd through optics, compared to other 1 mm² LES LEDs.
