Optical Design: 120° beam angle suits diffused lighting applications
| Model | CCT | Flux (lm) | Advantage |
|---|---|---|---|
| MX3AWT-A1-0000-0008A6 | 3500K | 110-130 | Best thermal performance |
| MX3BWT-L1-0000-0001E7 | 4000K | 120-140 | Higher brightness |
| MX3CWT-H1-0000-0002F9 | 2700K | 100-120 | Warmer tone |
Used in wall sconces with 90 CRI for accurate color rendering of interior finishes.
Arrays of 8 LEDs achieve uniform illumination with <2% color deviation across fixtures.
According to Strategies Unlimited (2023), the high-CRI warm white LED market is growing at 12.4% CAGR, driven by:
Commercial building retrofits
EU Ecodesign Directive 2023
Smart lighting adoption
Emerging applications demand:
Tunable CCT (2700K-5000K) in single package
Higher efficacy (>150 lm/W)
IoT-ready dimming protocols
A: L70 >50,000 hours at Tj=85°C (per IES TM-21 projections).
A: The built-in 120° lens suits most applications, but secondary optics can narrow the beam.
A: Yes, supports 100-1000Hz PWM (refer to Cree AN-0007 application note).
A: FR4 with 2oz copper or metal-core PCB for optimal thermal performance.
A: Standard 3-step MacAdam ellipse binning ensures color consistency.
The MX3AWT-A1-0000-0008A6 LED delivers reliable warm white illumination with industry-leading efficiency. Its combination of precise 3500K CCT, robust thermal design, and standard PLCC package makes it ideal for professional lighting applications requiring consistent quality.
