Cree adds high

Cree is aiming at premium indoor and outdoor lighting with a family of metal-substrate CoBs called CMB, tuned as performance upgrades from its CXA, CXB and CMA families, while retaining mechanical and optical compatibility.

"Up to 8% improvement in lumens/W vs previous generations by leveraging the latest technology platform," is the company's claim. They are "drop-in upgrades for Cree LED CoB form factors with the same light-emitting surface area and substrate size."
