Cree® XLamp® MP-L EasyWhite® LEDs
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The XLamp® MP-L EasyWhite® LED
eliminates traditional chromaticity binning
and maximizes lumen density, enabling
luminaire and bulb retrot manufacturers
to deliver consistent color and required
light output to the target end user. XLamp
MP-L EasyWhite LEDs can reduce LED-
to-LED color variation to within a 2-step
MacAdams ellipse around the desired
color temperature, which is 94% smaller
than the total area of the corresponding
ANSI C78.377 color region.
The XLamp MP-L EasyWhite LED is the
perfect choice for lighting applications
where high luminous ux output is
required from a single, small point source.
Examples of specic applications include:
commercial/retail display spotlights, LED
retrot bulbs, and other indoor general
illumination applications.
FEATURES
• Cree EasyWhite color temperatures
• High lumen density
• Wide viewing angle: 125°
• Minimum 80 CRI at 2700K and
3000K CCT
• Electrically neutral thermal path
• RoHS- and REACh-compliant
• UL® recognized component
(E349212)
APPLICATIONS
• Commercial/residential directional
lighting
• LED retrot bulbs
• General indoor/outdoor illumination

NOTES
Measurements
The luminous ux, radiant power, chromaticity and CRI measurements in this document are binning specications only and solely
represent product measurements as of the date of shipment. These measurements will change over time based on a number of factors
that are not within Cree’s control and are not intended or provided as operational specications for the products. Calculated values are
provided for informational purposes only and are not intended as specications.

Please read the LED Reliability Overview for details of the qualication process Cree applies to ensure long-term reliability for XLamp
LEDs and details of Cree’s pre-release qualication testing for XLamp LEDs.
Lumen Maintenance
Cree now uses standardized IES LM-80-08 and TM-21-11 methods for collecting long-term data and extrapolating LED lumen maintenance.
For information on the specic LM-80 data sets available for this LED, refer to the public LM-80 results document.
Please read the Long-Term Lumen Maintenance application note for more details on Cree’s lumen maintenance testing and forecasting.
Please read the Thermal Management application note for details on how thermal design, ambient temperature, and drive current affect
the LED junction temperature.
Moisture Sensitivity
Cree recommends keeping XLamp MP-L EasyWhite LEDs in
the provided, resealable moisture-barrier packaging (MBP) until
immediately prior to soldering. Unopened MBPs that contain XLamp
LEDs do not need special storage for moisture sensitivity.
Once the MBP is opened, XLamp MP-L EasyWhite LEDs should be
handled and stored as MSL 2a per JEDEC J-STD-033, meaning they have limited exposure time before damage to the LED may occur
during the soldering operation. The table on the right species the maximum exposure time in days depending on temperature and
humidity conditions. LEDs with exposure time longer than the specied maximums must be baked according to the baking conditions
listed below.
Baking Conditions
It is not necessary to bake all XLamp MP-L EasyWhite LEDs. Only the LEDs that meet all of the following criteria must be baked:
1. LEDs that have been removed from the original MBP.
2. LEDs that have been exposed to a humid environment longer than listed in the Moisture Sensitivity section above.
3. LEDs that have not been soldered.
Temp. Maximum Percent Relative Humidity

XLamp® mp-L EasyWhitE® LED
LEDs should be baked at 80ºC for 24 hours. LEDs may be baked on the original reels. Remove LEDs from the MBP before baking. Do
not bake parts at temperatures higher than 80ºC. This baking operation resets the exposure time as dened in the Moisture Sensitivity
section above.
Storage Conditions
XLamp MP-L EasyWhite LEDs that have been removed from the original MBP but not soldered should be stored in one of the following
ways:
• Store the parts in a rigid metal container with a tight-tting lid. Verify that the storage temperature is <30°C, and place fresh desiccant
and an RH indicator in the container to verify that the RH is no greater than 60%.
• Store the parts in a dry, nitrogen-purged cabinet or container that actively maintains the temperature at <30° and the RH at no greater
than 60%.
• For short-term store only: LEDs can be resealed in the original MBP soon after opening. Fresh desiccant may be needed. Use the
included humidity indicator card to verify <60% RH.
If an environment of <60% RH is not available for storage, XLamp MP-L EasyWhite LEDs should be baked (described above) before reow
soldering.
RoHS Compliance
The levels of RoHS 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 2011/65/EC (RoHS2), as
implemented January 2, 2013. RoHS Declarations for this product can be obtained from your Cree representative or from the Product
Documentation sections of www.cree.com.
REACh Compliance
REACh substances of very high concern (SVHCs) information is available for this product. Since the European Chemical Agency (ECHA)
has published notice of their intent to frequently revise the SVHC listing for the foreseeable future, please contact a Cree representative to
insure you get the most up-to-date REACh SVHC Declaration. REACh banned substance information (REACh Article 67) is also available
upon request.
UL® Recognized Component
Level 4 enclosure consideration. The LED package or a portion thereof has been investigated as a re and electrical enclosure per ANSI/
UL 8750.

WARNING. Do not look at an exposed lamp in operation. Eye injury can result. For more information about LEDs and eye safety, please
refer to the LED Eye Safety application note.
