NOTES
Lumen Maintenance Projections
Based on internal long-term reliability testing, Cree projects XLamp MX-6 LEDs will maintain an average of 70% or
higher lumen maintenance after 35,000 hours, provided the LED is operated with a constant current of not more than
600 mA and ambient air temperature around the LED is maintained at or below 85°C.
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.
ENERGY STAR Recommendation
Cree currently recommends a maximum drive current of 350 mA for XLamp MX-6 white in designs seeking the ENERGY
STAR* 35,000 hour lifetime rating (≥ 94.1% luminous ux @ 6000 hours) or 25,000 hour lifetime rating (≥ 91.8% lu-
minous ux @ 6000 hours).
* 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 MX-6 LEDs to have unlimited oor life in conditions ≤30ºC / 85% relative humidity
(RH). Moisture testing included a 168 hour soak at 85ºC / 85% RH followed by 3 reow cycles, with visual and electrical
inspections at each stage.
RoHS Compliance
The levels of environmentally sensitive, persistent biologically toxic (PBT), persistent organic pollutants (POP), or other-
wise restricted materials in this product are below the maximum concentration values (also referred to as the threshold
limits) permitted for such substances, or are used in an exempted application, in accordance with EU Directive 2002/95/
EC on the restriction of the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment (RoHS), as
amended through April 21, 2006.
