Lumen Maintenance Projections

Cree currently recommends a maximum drive current of 2000 mA for XLamp XM-L white in designs seeking the eNeRGY

STAR* 35,000 hour lifetime rating (≥ 94.1% luminous flux @ 6000 hours) or 25,000-hour lifetime rating (≥ 91.8%

luminous flux @ 6000 hours).

Please read the XLamp Long-Term Lumen Maintenance application note for more details on Cree’s lumen maintenance

testing and forecasting. Please read the XLamp Thermal Management application note for details on how thermal design,

ambient temperature, and drive current affect the LeD junction temperature.

* These lifetime ratings are based on the current eNeRGY STAR Solid State Lighting Luminaires v1.1 (December 12,

2008) and ENERGY STAR Integral LED Lamps V1.0 (December 3, 2009) lumen maintenance criteria.

Moisture Sensitivity

In testing, Cree has found XLamp XM-L LEDs to have unlimited floor life in conditions ≤30ºC / 85% relative humidity

(RH). Moisture testing included a 168 hour soak at 85ºC / 85% RH followed by 3 reflow cycles, with visual and electrical

inspections at each stage.
