Cree boosts XSP Series LED Street Light output by over 35%

LED chip, lamp and lighting fixture maker Cree Inc of Durham, NC, USA says that it is extending its XSP Series LED Street Light portfolio to deliver municipalities improved performance at more affordable price points. The new XSP2L LED street light increases lumen output by over 35% compared to the original XSP luminaire. The XSP2L is suitable as a replacement for high-pressure sodium and metal-halide fixtures up to 400 watts, the firm says.

Delivering better performance and lower cost per lumen, the XSP Series LED Street Light has what is claimed to be an industry-leading 10-year warranty and a calculated L70 lifetime of more than 100,000 hours, as well as a thermal management system that improves overall performance. The result is a luminaire that delivers up to 30% more lumens per dollar, it is reckoned.

“Cree is committed to helping communities significantly lower their energy costs and maintenance expenses,” says Greg Merritt, vice president, lighting at Cree. “The latest Cree innovation makes LED street lighting available for higher-performance applications with compelling payback.”
