The MX-6 LED offers the performance and reliability that customers expect from Cree XLamp LEDs with enhanced light uniformity and low power consumption.

"We are impressed with the Cree XLamp MX-6 LED," said Sunny Tsai, CEO of TESS, an innovative LED light bulb manufacturer. "The LED's performance is striking, and Cree's small bins make it easy for us to deliver a consistent product for our customers."

"With the addition of the XLamp MX-6 LED, we now have the most diverse family of lighting-class LEDs in the industry," said Paul Thieken, Cree marketing director, LED components. "The XLamp MX-6 LED can provide better design options for indoor applications, including under-cabinet, retail displays, LED light bulbs and fluorescent replacements."
