PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
These oval LEDs are specically de-
signed for full-color video screens, dig-
ital billboards and passenger-informa-
tion signs. The oval-shaped radiation
pattern and high luminous intensity
ensure that these devices are excel-
lent for bright sunlight or low power
consumption outdoor applications.
These lamps are made with an ad-
vanced optical-grade epoxy that offers
superior high-temperature and high-
moisture-resistance performance in
outdoor signal and sign applications.
The encapsulation resin contains anti-
UV material in order to reduce the ef-
fects of long-term exposure to direct
sunlight.

Notes:
1. The above kit numbers represent order codes that include multiple intensity-bin and color-bin codes. Only one
intensity-sub-bin code and one color-bin code will be shipped on each reel. Selected single intensity-bin, single
color-bin codes will be orderable in certain quantities. For example, any four consecutive sub-bins from V1 to W2
mean only one intensity bin with four sub-bins of the following brightness ranges (V1-V4, V2-W1, V3-W2) will be
shipped by Cree. For example, any one-color bin from G7 to G9 means only one color bin (G7 or G23 or G8 or G45
or G9) will be shipped by Cree.
2. Please refer to the “Cree LED Lamp Reliability Test Standards” document for reliability test conditions.
3. Please refer to the “Cree LED Lamp Soldering & Handling” document for information about how to use this LED
product safely.
