Cree LED has released a new Mint color option for its Photophyll Select LED product line. This addition is specifically designed to help manufacturers balance spectral control with system efficacy, cost, and design compatibility.
Why it matters
The new LED allows manufacturers to improve spectral control in lighting systems while maintaining existing design layouts. This flexibility helps streamline production processes for specialized horticultural lighting.
The new Mint LED targets a 1.6 Green/Blue Ratio using the 3V JB3030C platform, which utilizes a 3030 form factor. These components are designed to be compatible with the Samsung LM301B/H footprint.
The players
Cree LED
