Re: CREE MCE vs SSC p7

They are roughly the same efficiency and brightness. The biggest difference is the MC-E has a much smaller footprint and can be wired in multiple configurations. The latest binning can be found on their relative spec sheets

I could see that MC-E has 4 independent input feeds, while SSC p7 has only one to drive four DIEs (parallel connection internally inside package), am I right ?

Re: CREE MCE vs SSC p7

That's what the pictures I've seen show.

So that means I or who every is using the light can drive each diode interdependently, in parallel, in series or what ever, unlike the Seoul P7.

:welcome:

Re: CREE MCE vs SSC p7

Can anyone tell if the die layout is the same as the P7? Same size dies? Same distance apart? From what I can see it doesn't show the dimensions of the dies in the datasheet.

The Cree's look like they come out in a nice variety of tints :)

605lm warm white single LED light sounds very nice... Quad neutral white MCE sounds even better ;)

I imagine people who like strobes could have a lot of fun playing with four individual emitters and drivers.

One slight problem I see is since the LED die won't be centered at the focal point, just lighting up 1 or 2 dies might create artifacts or an unbalanced hotspot.

Plus running each die at lower current will be more efficient than running one die at a higher current.

SSC P7 uses dies made by Cree so the die size will be same.

Re: CREE MCE vs SSC p7

I know that, but maybe this MCE is different. It's the same size overall as the current XR series yet has 4 dies... That is what made me ask the question.

I doubt MC-E use different dies, one die has 1x1 mm size so there is enough room for 4 dies.
