PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
These oval LEDs are specifically 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 (X3-Y2, X4-Y3, Y1-Y4) 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.

Preheat
• Do not apply any stress to the LED package, particularly when heated.
• Only bottom preheat is suggested & should not preheat on top in order to reduce thermal stress experienced by the
LEDs.
• The LEDs must not be re used once they have been extracted from PCB.
• After soldering the LEDs, the package should be protected from mechanical shock or vibration until the LEDs have
reached 40 ºC or below.
• Precautions must be taken as mechanical stress on the LEDs may be caused by PCB warpage or from the clinching
and cutting of the LED leads.
• When it is necessary to clam the LEDs during soldering, it is important to ensure no mechanical stress is exerted on
the LEDs.
• Cut the LED lead at normal room temperature. Lead cutting at high temperature may cause failure of the LEDs.
