Cree Introduces 200 Lumen/Watt Production Power LEDs
« on: December 30, 2012, 10:12:25 am »
Cree just announced production power LEDs reaching 200 lumen/watt. Approximately doubling the previous peak LED light efficiency, the new LEDs will require less cooling. This should enable the MK-R series to finally provide direct no-hassle replacements to popular form-factors such as MR-16 spots and incandescent lighting in general.

Read the fine print, it's at 25 deg. C. At normal working temperature it is reportedly only a little better than previous.
