PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The Cree XLamp ML-B LED brings
lighting-class reliability and per-
formance to 1/4-watt LEDs.
The
XLamp ML-B expands Cree’s light-
ing-class leadership to linear and
distributed
lighting
applications.
With XLamp lighting-class reliabil-
ity, a wide viewing angle, uniform
light output, and industry-leading
chromaticity binning in a 3.5-mm
X 3.5-mm package, the XLamp
ML-B LED continues Cree’s history
of segment-focused product inno-
vation in LEDs for lighting applica-
tions.
The XLamp ML-B LED brings high
performance and a smooth look to
a wide range of lighting applica-
tions, including linear lighting, fluo-
rescent retrofits and retail-display

THERMAL DESIGN
The maximum forward current is determined by the thermal resistance between the LED junction and ambient. It is
crucial for the end product to be designed in a manner that minimizes the thermal resistance from the solder point to
ambient in order to optimize lamp life and optical characteristics.
