The XLamp MHD-G and MHD-E LED from Cree is a category of high-power LED arrays that delivers a better way to achieve low-cost systems than multiple mid-power (MP) LEDs. Built using Cree’s high-reliability ceramic package technology, the XLamp MHD-G and MHD-E is able to operate at higher-temperatures than MP LEDs with no reduction in rated lifetime, enabling an impressive 60% reduction in heat sink size and cost.  Using many times fewer LEDs than MP LEDs to achieve the same performance, the XLamp MHD-G and MHD-E LED is optimized to simplify LED system designs for directional and semi‑directional applications.
