High Power LED 10W Cold White CREE XPE-6500K (3V-3.7V) 20mm For Flashlights

The High Power CREE XP-E 10W Cold White LED

 is a high-intensity emitter designed for spotlight applications and flashlight upgrades. While "XP-E" is traditionally a 3W-class chip, this 10W variant typically refers to a modern high-output version or a specific binned emitter capable of handling higher currents when mounted on its 20mm aluminum star PCB.

Technical Specifications

According to specifications provided by specialized retailers like Lampatronics and SatisLED, this module operates within the following parameters:

• Operating Voltage: 3V to 3.7V DC.
• Power Rating: 10W.
• Color Temperature: 6500K (Cold White), providing a crisp, bluish-white light ideal for maximum visibility.
• Beam Angle: Typically 120°, providing a broad flood before being focused by secondary optics.
• Mounting: Pre-soldered onto a 20mm aluminum star MCPCB (Metal Core Printed Circuit Board) for easier handling and basic heat dissipation.

Key Performance Characteristics

• High Throw Capability: The XP-E series is known for its smaller die size compared to the XM-L series, which allows for a tighter, more focused beam (higher "throw") when used with a reflector.
• Thermal Management: Because this LED draws significant power (up to 10W), it generates substantial heat. Makers Electronics and Jumia vendors emphasize that it must be mounted on a larger heatsink using thermal paste to prevent the chip from burning out during prolonged use.
• Durability: The emitter is designed with an electrically neutral thermal path and is highly resistant to vibration, making it suitable for portable tactical gear.
